Typhoon - d**h Was the Driver lyrics

The scrape of boots on a gravel road Dust and ashes, dancing at my feet As I hitchhike through the desert Through the bowels of the sunburnt country Where it's littered with skeletons Of bodies and cars that collapsed And through the graveyard rides old man d**h In his black cadillac He rolls down the window on the driver side And I first see his darked marked hand And he grins at me with yellow teeth and he gestures with a half cigarette He says "hop in and I'll get you where you're going" And I ask "where is that?" He flicks the filter, says "Hell if I know, But I'll get you there fast To a place where they lay down your life If my son you are sure it's your time" Riding shotgun in his car with Filled with words that never said Silently upon the road we ride into the fiery sunset I ask him to where we're going again to which he replies "To the world's end, to the world's end" And I asked him "what happens next?" and he said "You're all sitting bravely upon your crosses Just waiting for the water to rise With fingernails you're clinging to The hope that faith will float when you will die And if it does, well I don't know You'll only have to wait for tonight, for tonight Because I'll be out of a job after tonight For my son, the time has come, it all comes down At midnight the dying lights all go out All go out All go out And at this point my mind was made I kindly asked for him to stop He just grinned his yellow grin, he said He'd see me come twelve o'clock I was back where I had started And old man d**h was riding off, was driving off The static of his radio was trailing off
