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
