Thoughts in time and out of season
the hitchhiker
stood by the side of the road
and leveled his thumb
in the calm calculus of reason
Hi. how you doin'? i just got back into town l.a.
i was out on the desert for awhile

"riders on the storm"

yeah. in the middle of it

"riders on the storm"

right...

"into this world we're born"

hey, listen, man, i really got a problem

"into this world we're thrown"

when i was out on the desert, ya know

"like a dog without a bone

an actor out on loan"

i don't know how to tell you

"riders on the storm"

but, ah, i killed somebody

"there's a killer on the road"

no...

"his brain is squirming like a toad"

it's no big deal, ya know

i don't think anybody will find out about it, but...

" take a long holiday"

just, ah...

"let your children play"

this guy gave me a ride, and ah...
"if you give this man a ride"
Started giving me a lot of trouble
"sweet family will die"
And i just couldn't take it, ya know
"killer on the road"
And i wasted him
Yeah
