That Thing on the Highway

Start

Intro

Rain taps on the bonnet slow

Cigarette burning down

Lonely stretch of outback miles

Bloody sky turning brown

Rolling thunder in my chest

Flicking ash on leather seats

Didn’t expect some twisted beast

To leap out at my feet

Verse 1

Empty gears grind in the silence

Swearing at the radio

Cut lines on old receipts

Sticky wheel can’t let go

Out of nowhere you appeared

A shadow built to fight

Staring dead and wild and clear

Ready to paint the night

Chorus

That thing tried to box me down the highway

Just a flash of fur and rage in the night

Hop and a stare and a wild silhouette

That bastard kangaroo just wouldn’t let me by

Post-Chorus

Run run run away

Madness in its eyes

Verse 2

Tires screaming in the red dust

Four paws squared to throw a punch

My hands shake around the wheel

Never thought I’d meet my match on these lonely roads

Pre-Chorus

Headlights cut through fear and fur

Cursing under my breath

What the hell are you doing here

You could've boxed me to death

Chorus

That thing tried to box me down the highway

Just a flash of fur and rage in the night

Hop and a stare and a wild silhouette

That bastard kangaroo just wouldn’t let me by

Post-Chorus

Run run run away

Madness in its eyes[Chorus]

That thing tried to box me down the highway

Just a flash of fur and rage in the night

Hop and a stare and a wild silhouette

That bastard kangaroo just wouldn’t let me by

Post-Chorus

Run run run away

Madness in its eyes[Chorus]

That thing tried to box me down the highway

Just a flash of fur and rage in the night

Hop and a stare and a wild silhouette

That bastard kangaroo just wouldn’t let me by

Post-Chorus

Run run run away

Madness in its eyes[Post-Chorus]

Run run run away

Madness in its eyes
