Try this:

Black malaise Crack me up Exhaust leak Clouds my mind Copenhagen Stains my mouth But it gets me high Yeah it gets me high

My veins: tattoo blue Black worms Of the earth In Crane's Smokescreen light Get's me where I'm worth Get's me where I'm worth

Pedal to the metal, I'm all used up Pedal to the metal, I've had enough Pedal to the metal, I'm all used up Pedal to the metal, I've had enough

Yeah!

My wife Don't know where I'm at My daughter Blew out her brains My shadow Scares the cat

Hanging it clean Yeah hangin' it clean

Pedal to the metal, I'm all used up Pedal to the metal, I've had enough Pedal to the metal, I'm all used up Pedal to the metal, I've had enough

Yeah

No one touches my car No one touches my TV No one touches my kids Except me

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Like a lot of characters in TAD songs (especially early on) this guy is simply a rural psychopath. He literally destroys everything he touches, feels no remorse about it, and is self destructive in a form of pure reflexive nihilism.
