Píseň: Orange Crush

Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas
(over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me


High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one on the waves tonight,
Comin’ in, you’re home


We’d circle and we’d circle
and we’d circle to stop and consider
and centered on the pavement
stacked up all the trucks
jacked up and our wheels in slush and orange crush
in pocket and all this here country
Hell any country it’s just like heaven here
And I was remembering
And I was just in a different country
And all then this whirlybird
That I headed for I had my goggles
pulled off I knew it all
I knew every back road and every truck stop


Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas
(over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me


High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one on the waves tonight,
Comin’ in, you’re home
