[Verse 1]
The highway patrolman is bald
And I can see you dancing in his skull
The deacon whispers something obscene
It seems so clear
Are we stuck here?
[Chorus]
I'm scared
And it seems that you're not here
No road out of Houston
[Verse 2]
Satan speaks to me
You'll never gain the status of the meek
But I've seen God when I drink
And paradise too
It may well bode true
[Chorus]
I'm scared
And it seems that you're not here
No road out of Houston
Alright!
[Verse 3]
The beggars dance with rich men's wives
The cock will crow, then take its life
The browbeater's protected son
And the rabbit has no intention to run
[Verse 4]
It started off so good and fine
Protected here by my Maginot Line
Your drink, it seems a little strong
When is it time, is it time to move on?
[Verse 5]
The time draws long
And tell me, is it time to carry on?
Oh, I thought not, my dear
Between a wretch and the dismal sky
The abysmal abyss
[Chorus]
And it seems that you're not here
No road out of Houston
[x3]
