Verse 1 w/Riffa x4
Again we stalk the stage
At mach speed we engage
Feeding people's rage
The big cats left it's cage
Back in the bus again
To catch another plane
This behaviors quite insane
But we do it for the fame
chorus
Riffb
lost my mind lost all my money i lost my mind to
killing road

Verse 2 w/ Riffa x4
The road will never end
It aways starts again
Another shows around the bend
Another long lost friend
As Faceless as the snow
There's nothing special about the road
It's just another haul
It's just too damn long thats all
Repeat chorus
(bottom 4 strings shown only)

| I think it's just about an adrenaline junkie going down a road really fast to make his journey less boring "It's just too damn long, that's all." and crashes and hits someone else and dies, there's a picture of the road in the remasters booklet in the background of the lyrics to this song. I don't think there's a deeper meaning. | |
