) Ray Thaves at 2am sitting towards the back of a Greyhound
He sits next to an overweight lady with metal braces on both her legs,
and she sits there coughing
He tries to just look out the window into the desert
where it's 5 degrees below zero
Having to move back into his uncle's house in Las Vegas
with no money, no apartment, and no car and no motorcycle,
his music collection gone, everything's been pawned
And the guy behind him keeps getting up and going to the bathroom
says he's been up for days and the speed's still showing
Ray tries to just stare out the window,
snow covers everything and it's 5 degrees below zero
break chords
Above him is a sea of stars unseen because of the weather
He tries not to look at his reflection in the window,
And there's two guys in front of him who are quietly drinking off a bottle
And he can feel that feel, feel that feel still pulling
A girl across the aisle is giving herself an ink pen tattoo
her kid sits next to her and her kid is crying
So he finally gets up and walks to the front of the bus,
to the bus driver
"Pull Over! Pull Over!" he yells at the bus driver, and
the bus driver he just pulls over
G He gets off the bus in just his C T-shirt and leaves his coat
and all his things aboard
Em and as the D bus pulls away C he walks out into the desert
G And he can see the city lights C in the distance
Em so he D walks into the C opposite direction
G Swimming in a sea of rage that C dissipates with the cold
Em But hours now have D passed and he C doesn't know
which way to go
Em He tries to find the G highway but snow covers everything
and it's C 5 degrees below zero
