NASTY PACKAGES

==============================

Got my ticket in my pocket
And I cast a furtive glance
At the hobo in the corner
With the urine in his pants
Gotta catch the midnight Greyhound
Looking for a friendly face
But the hookers all seem hostile
Need to leave this angry place
Oooo Wheee
Gonna leave a piece of you
For every part you took from me
Six hours into the trip
The throbbing diesel starts to slow
We beat the winter sun
In our race to Buffalo
The speed and road noise numb me
From the voices I hear speaking
But I want to see "The Falls"
Before my old valise starts leaking
Oooo Nice
A piece or two of you
Over the railing should suffice
The driver's name is "Shifty"
And he sure can mash those gears
As the monster rumbles westbound
On a tarmac trail of tears
"I never lost a passenger"
I heard the nitwit boast
But he'll be a rider lighter
By the time we hit the coast
Oooo Yes
Another lonely truck stop
And another little mess
Three thousand miles of secrets
And dirty little deeds
I drop my nasty packages
Psycho Johnny Appleseed
My travels almost over
One more trick I want to play
I've got a special parcel
For the 'City by the Bay'
Oooo Well
Confirm my reservation
On my one-way trip to Hell
