Slash's Snakepit - Speed Parade lyrics

rate me

They come and they go when they want me

I sit and I wait my turn

I want to let go but I can't see

All I know is from what I've learned

Hitchhiker born to the side of the road

Got your thumb out, climb in

Shut your mouth, and do what you're told

This is where the ride begins

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down

Like a ball and chain

Stand up, the best is all around

The question is would you like to calm the insane

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head

Here lies a rude instigator or so he says

Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'

Or does he lie there and just play dead?

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down

Like a ball and chain

Stand up, the best is all around

The question is would you like to calm the insane

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead

Gotta get on the road or get on your knees

See the boy play, he plays for speed

Faster boy, put your foot on the floor

Salivating, he just wants more

Here come the calm with the bold insane

I can feel it like a ball and chain

When the question stands, does the shit remain?

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
