Rider in the Rain

Lyrics

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] The road's called "Progress Freeway," runs from oblivion to nowhere Six lanes run forever, just face ahead and stare Across bridges of illusion, through them tunnels of despair No time to wait, it's far too late, the fear's already there Fear's already there [Chorus] Composite, an opposite, a number on a name The inferno's fires are bein' fanned, the freeway's engulfed in flames No detour round the furore, Satan occupies Canaan An infliction, contradiction The rider in the rain Rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane A rider with no name When you don't know you're bein' framed Just a rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane [Verse 2] Thunder through the midnights, hailin' rain keeps beatin' in For the riders, there's no shelter from the howlin' driven wind Beside the freeway in the darkness are the monuments to pain Beyond are the hidden tombstones where the wreaths of peace are lain Where the wreaths of peace are lain Outside in the rain [Chorus] Composite, an opposite, a number on a name The inferno's fires are bein' fanned, the freeway's engulfed in flames No detour round the furore, Satan occupies Canaan An infliction, contradiction It's the rider in the rain Rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane A rider with no name When you don't know you're bein' framed Just a rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane [Verse 3] Truth eludes the reptile, prophets preach to empty caves Inquisitions execute the healers, there's nothin' left to save Except the inertia of the freeway and the riders on the run Look behind, see that "Freeway's Time" is driven with a loaded gun Driven with a loaded gun Keep you on the run [Chorus] Composite, an opposite, a number on a name The inferno's fires are bein' fanned, the freeway's engulfed in flames No detour round the furore, Satan occupies Canaan An infliction, contradiction It's the rider in the rain Rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane A rider with no name When you don't know you're bein' framed Just a rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane [Instrumental] [Chorus] When you don't know you're bein' framed Just a rider in the rain Runnin' in the wrong lane [Instrumental]
