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
