remember the girl with the bee hive hairdo
stung by a spider in a rats nest igloo
hook man leavin' his hook on the door
after givin' that girlfriend s guy what for
someone put a rat in the deep fry
madman on the phone in the upstairs bedroom
alligators down in the sewer lines
I had a tough time believing all that
'till I picked up
the vanishing hitchhiker
I picked up (the vanishing hitchhiker)
he was an angel (the vanishing hitchhiker)
I heard him say "stop telling lies."
then he went away
remember the dog in the microwave oven?
it was turned to high, now there s nothin' left of him
"there's a hatchet killer hiding in your back seat, ma am
and a rat tail floating in your coca cola can."
at midnight there stood a stranger on the highway
somewhere there abouts, (I think) in corpus christi
he smiled and said that he was goin' my way
no I couldn t say that I believed in all that
'till I picked up
the vanishing hitchhiker
I picked up (the vanishing hitchhiker)
he was an angel (the vanishing hitchhiker)
I heard him say "stop telling lies."
then he went away
I get my info from the backward masking
I get the Word of God through prayer and fasting
j.f.k. is alive and well
and kissenger is a beast from hell
the face of saint paul in this butt roast
assures me that i'm going up to heaven
the anti-christ does laundry on the east coast
I doubted the most -- did not believe in all that
'till I picked up
the vanishing hitchhiker
I picked up (the vanishing hitchhiker)
he was an angel (the vanishing hitchhiker)
I heard him say "stop telling lies."
then he went away
