i stopped to fill my car up
the car felt good that day
i didn't know where i was going

but it felt good for a change
a five and a pocket full of silver
i paid the lady no change

and then it started to piss down
i started driving again
and then i looked up

and looked in the mirror behind me
a man round forty in the back seat
must have stepped in when i was empty

so why's he sat there just waiting
likely to smash my face in
he had a bag full of money

he said just drive me away
i didn't know where i was going
yet it felt good to be strange

and still i look up
and look in the mirror behind me
curiosity is over

he stepped down from the car
he pulled a gun from his jacket
said i was going to die

it gives me so much satisfaction
to watch you beg and cry
well i just made up this story

to get your attention makes me smile
i never looked up or looked
in the mirror behind me
