The Hitchhiker

Thoughts in time and out of season
The hitchhiker stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason
Hi, how you doin'?
I just got back into town, LA
I was out on the desert for awhile
Yeah, in the middle of it
Right
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
When I was out on the desert, ya know
I don't know how to tell you
But, ah, I killed somebody
No
It's no big deal, ya know
I don't think anybody will find out about it, but
Just, ah
This guy gave me a ride, and ah
Started giving me a lot of trouble
I just couldn't take it, ya know
I wasted him
