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
