(1st verse)
Standing at the crossroads
Which way you gonna go
And what you gonna do when it comes
Bargaining with gasoline
Take a ride on this machine
Gonna get me some
When it comes
Just how far you gonna go
Somebody should let you know
Once you're in you ain't getting out
Put a side your foolish pride
So you take just one more ride
I don't think you know what it's about
Here it comes
Then the sequence is repeated; play Riff B twice and play Riff C twice
(2nd verse)
Riding on a living hell
Got another soul to sell
Right is right and wrong is wrong
Life's a dream
On this machine
It lasts just about as long
So you think you know it all
And when you ride you never fall
I got some news for you
Entice you with a wicked smile
Take a ride for a while
Seems that the news is true
Yes it's true
Riff D (Play twice):

Oh take me away
On the ride of your life
Oh put me away
Deathpusher
Oh take me away
Last time of my life
Skullcrusher

|----------------|--------------------|----------------|------9-10-8~|
|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---3-5-3~--|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0----|
(Bridge)
All the thinking never done
All the murder, all the fun
Wash the blood from your hands
Bury your secrets in the sand
And forget
Your mouth went dry
Shortness on breath
Symptoms of fear
Symptoms of Death
As soon as you enter the measure in which Bobby screams "Death", it goes like
this (it's 6/4 measure!)

|0-0-1-0-0-0-2-0-|0-0-1-0-0-0-2102||
(3rd verse)
Tracks go on for miles
Through the agony and smiles
Laying there in pieces on the ground
What the hell, you take a chance
Crusher call, make your stance
When you're dead you never make a sound
Racing with the Devil
Engine's slowing down
Fifty years too early
And you're laying underground...
You're crushed!
Then repeat Riff B twice again and until the song finishes, repeat this new
riff until the song is over:
Riff J (Repeat and fade):

|0---0-0-3-----0-|3-----2-----1---|0-0-0-0-3-----0-|3-----2-----1---||
(Chorus)
Oh take me away
On the ride of my life
Oh put me away
Deathpusher
Oh take me away
Last time of my life
Oh take me away
Skullcrusher
Oh take me away
On the ride of my life
Oh put me away
Deathpusher
Oh take me away
Oh take me away
Oh take me away
Skullcrusher
