| [00:25.47] |
When I was a hitchhiker on the road |
| [00:29.33] |
I had to count on you |
| [00:32.88] |
But you needed me to ease the load |
| [00:36.15] |
And for conversation too |
| [00:39.75] |
Or did you just drive on through. |
| [00:42.92] |
|
| [00:52.27] |
You didn't see me in Toronto |
| [00:55.34] |
When I first tried out some hash |
| [00:59.12] |
Smoked some then and I'll do it again |
| [01:02.26] |
If I only had some cash |
| [01:06.07] |
Only had some cash. |
| [01:09.67] |
|
| [01:18.48] |
Then I tried amphetamines |
| [01:21.52] |
And my head was in a glass |
| [01:25.35] |
Taped underneath the speedometer wires |
| [01:28.55] |
Of my '48 Buick's dash. |
| [01:31.96] |
But I knew that wouldn't last. |
| [01:35.95] |
|
| [01:47.82] |
Then came California |
| [01:50.83] |
Where I first saw open water |
| [01:54.51] |
In the land of opportunity |
| [01:58.18] |
I knew I was getting hotter |
| [02:01.80] |
I knew I was getting hotter. |
| [02:04.98] |
|
| [02:10.42] |
But the neon lights |
| [02:11.78] |
And the endless nights |
| [02:13.87] |
They took me by surprise |
| [02:17.59] |
The doctor gave me valium |
| [02:20.68] |
But I still couldn't close my eyes |
| [02:24.52] |
I still couldn't close my eyes. |
| [02:28.05] |
|
| [02:36.59] |
Then came paranoia |
| [02:39.83] |
And it ran away with me |
| [02:43.20] |
I couldn't sign my autograph |
| [02:46.89] |
Or appear on TV |
| [02:50.29] |
Or see or be seen |
| [03:00.42] |
|
| [03:02.56] |
Living in the country |
| [03:06.08] |
Sounded good to me |
| [03:09.29] |
Smoking grass while the summer lasts |
| [03:12.75] |
In the real organic sea |
| [03:15.78] |
Where everything was green |
| [03:22.07] |
|
| [03:24.80] |
Then we had a kid and we split apart |
| [03:27.84] |
I was living on the road |
| [03:31.28] |
A little cocaine went a long long way |
| [03:34.80] |
To ease that different load |
| [03:38.20] |
But my head did explode |
| [03:42.82] |
My head did explode. |
| [03:46.14] |
|
| [03:53.37] |
I wish I was an Aztec |
| [03:56.59] |
Or a runner in Peru |
| [04:00.00] |
I would build such beautiful buildings |
| [04:03.34] |
To house the chosen few |
| [04:07.15] |
Like an Inca from Peru. |
| [04:10.38] |
