Lyrics:
Out on the highway, I'm doing it my way
Handing out money, a fly's making honey
Zigzag patients vibrating the ancients
Beaches a-plenty, the pig's on the levee
Let's not be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms, the halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away, that's what I like

Breezes are turnin', villages burnin'
Convalescents open the presents
Wandering children, ready and willin'
Beggars and lightweights harness the highways
Let's not be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms, the halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away, that's what I like

Abandoned coalmines, we'll have a good time
Sunstroke rivals recycling bibles
Let's not be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms, the halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away, that's what I like

Doo doo doo...
