Two quarters in my hand nothing else in my pocket
I'm a wild horse pawing at the cracked dead earth
The stoplight turning and a long white lincoln
Goes screaming by the bass line lingers
It's hot as the devil the rubber and the metal
Black smell of something burning
I never did wrong I never did gamble
Til the day you called me worthless
Two quarters in my hand nothing else in my pocket
I'm a fuse box sparking in the summer grass
I'm a hooded figure a crazy killer
I'm a dead man walking on the overpass
It's hot as the devil the asphalt melting
The sweat wet smell of danger
I never did wrong I never was tempted
Til the day you named my anger
Two quarters in my hand nothing else in my pocket
I'm a count-down rocket in a cloud of smoke
My fists are clenched my whole body tense
My mouth screwed up my eyes half closed
It's hot as the devil a screaming kettle
The bassline slowly burning
I never did wrong I was kind and careful
Til the day you called me worthless
