Hitchhiker's Paradox
Hop in my car and I'll drive you away
Raspy, insulting voices on the radio
This is the only station I can seem to pick up anymore
And the volume knob is stuck.
Tell me where to stop
If you want to stretch your legs I can pull over soon
But I'm slipping into the patterns of traffic
Make your move now because I'm only picking up girls
So I can kill them later.
