How long you been asleep at the wheel? Out of control gathering up speed
Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street I hope that you wake up
in time to scream
12-8-10-7-8-5-7-0-12-8-10-8-7- High E string trill picking (rapid)
Race me for tail or for heads Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead
You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs It's not what you did,
it's what you will do So take another turn on the merry-go-round Your
numbers all come up now you're king of the town So buckle up and chase
yourself a new thrill You're never going to feel like before
You keep coming back for more to find the old wolf knocking on your door
Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
You got a cold sweat begging for a score, you lose it all as you stumble to
the floor Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
12-8-10-7-8-5-7-0-12-15-10-7-8-10-12- High E string trill pick
You keep coming up for air to find your own foot pushing on your head
Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
I see that dried up blood that's in your hair, you've got the old
kaleidoscopic stare Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
When are you going to finally admit it's the end of the line, you've been
hammered and hit Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss I know what you
want, I think this is it
