I stopped to fill my car up
the car felt good that day
i didn't know where i was going
but it felt good for a change
a five and a pocket full of silver
i paid the lady no change
and then it started to piss down
i started driving again
and then i looked up
and looked in the mirror behind me
a man round forty in the back seat
must have stepped in when i was empty
so why's he sat there just waiting
likely to smash my face in
he had a bag full of money
he said just drive me away
i didn't know where i was going
yet it felt good to be strange
and still i look up
and look in the mirror behind me
curiosity is over
he stepped down from the car
he pulled a gun from his jacket
said i was going to die
it gives me so much satisfaction
to watch you beg and cry
well i just made up this story
to get your attention makes me smile
i never looked up or looked
in the mirror behind me
