The average truckers nightmare.

lyrics

Woke Up at the Wheel

I woke up at the wheel of love, doing over ninety-five.
On a cold and rainy afternoon, felt good to be alive.
I was dreaming most the time of home, 200 miles to run,
The woman I had on my mind should’ve been the only one.
My eighteen wheels all humming low, Sweet Morpheus taking hold.
My heartbeat was the motor hauling tons of idiot’s gold.

Drove my truck right off the road.
Got out alive, but lost my load,
Had semen’s demons in my head
Those trucking Devils turned gold to lead,
Priapic idiots just have no shame
There’s no-one else for me to blame
I’d broken every penile code.
When I arrived, she’d hit the road.

I woke up at the wheel of love, having run right off the road,
Could plainly see the way I’d come, I knew what I was owed.
Spent too much time away from home, held my fate right in my hand
Coulda quit while I was way ahead; didn’t work out like I’d planned.
I’m the Pirate of Pyrites now; I’m the fool who won’t be told.
My heartbeat was the motor hauling tons of idiot’s gold.

I woke up at the wheel of love, going under like a stone
In the cold and lonely aftermath, felt sad to be alone
The nightmare of the homeless heart has a thousand hours to run
I’m drowning in what might have been much brighter than the sun.
Before the wheels came off my truck any fool could have foretold
I was heading for disaster, hauling tons of idiot’s gold.

Always trying to look at life, even the grotesques and gargoyles of the world, with humour, he hopes to bring about regime change, revolution, and the salvation of nature by scribbling a few words and then singing or reciting them into that new fangled gramaphone contraption.
