Speed Parade Lyrics - Slash's Snakepit

They come and they go when they want me 

I sit and I wait my turn 

I want to let go but I can't see 

All I know is from what I've learned 

Hitchhiker born to the side of the road 

Got your thumb out, climb in 

Shut your mouth, and do what you're told 

This is where the ride begins 

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down 

Like a ball and chain 

Stand up, the best is all around 

The question is would you like to calm the insane 

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade 

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head 

Here lies a rude instigator or so he says 

Is he movin', movin', movin', movin' 

Or does he lie there and just play dead 

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down 

Like a ball and chain 

Stand up, the best is all around 

The question is would you like to calm the insane 

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade 

It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead 

Gotta get on the road or get on your knees 

See the boy play, he plays for speed 

Faster boy, put your foot on the floor 

Salivating, he just wants more 

Here come the calm with the bold insane 

I can feel it like a ball and chain 

When the question stands, does the shit remain 

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade 

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
