They come and they go when they want me
I sit and I wait my turn
I want to let go but I can't see
All I know is from what I've learned
Hitchhiker born to the side of the road
Got your thumb out, climb in
Shut your mouth, and do what you're told
This is where the ride begins
Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
Here lies a rude instigator or so he says
Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'
Or does he lie there and just play dead
Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead
Gotta get on the road or get on your knees
See the boy play, he plays for speed
Faster boy, put your foot on the floor
Salivating, he just wants more
Here come the calm with the bold insane
I can feel it like a ball and chain
When the question stands, does the shit remain
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
