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 ]
