wrap your fingers 'round the wheel my friend
lay your eyes along the road
piercing into the darkness ahead
so hungry for our souls

flee the fiery lash of tattered tongues
escape the lips that kiss to kill
steal away from sudden slashing eyes
that fix us frozen still

if you drive all night
if we drive into the light my friend
there's a chance we might survive

wrap your fingers 'round the wheel my friend
lay your eyes upon the road
writhing under the longing of wheels
with a low and bleeding moan
