Roadburner Songtext
von Fire Down Below

They call me the roadburner
′Cause I'm driving day and night
People guess my name
But no one ever gets it right
Now the road becomes my mistress
How I love her sweet caress
She′s the only one who listens
When I'm making sense

I never stop


Why did you just have to smoke me
Like I was your last cigarette
And the sad thing is I liked it
When you sucked me dry
I see a hobo eating roadkill
With a vulture by his side
Some say we live the life we earned
In former lives

I never stop

Why do you want to drag my body home?
Roadburner!

You're a viper, you′re a vixen
You′re a goddess, you're a saint
Through the desert, in my half-dreams
All of which are so unreal
Every second on the highway
Every mile, you make me sweat
I′m your ashtray, I'm your lapdog
And I cannot understand

Why do you want to drag my body home?
Roadburner!

Christ, I′ve finally found the fucking light
I con-fucking-fess that you were right
