The Doors - The Hitchhiker

The Hitchhiker

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 were born"
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
"Into this world were thrown"
When I was out on the desert, ya know
"Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan"
I dont know how to tell you
"Riders on the storm"
but, ah, I killed somebody
"There is a killer on the road "
No...
"His brain is squirming like a toad"
Its no big deal, ya know
I dont think anybody wi 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 gi have this man a ride"
started giving me a lot of trouble
"Sweet family wi will die"
and I just couldnt take it, ya know
"Killer on the road "
And I wasted him
Yeah
