about

'This song reminds me of Johnny Cash. I really should have had his voice to give the song the finishing touch, but I only have my own which is recorded twice for this song. I had some trouble singing as low as was needed for it and I hid that with recording a higher pitched second lead vocals. The words warn for the dangers of putting oneself in a position in which one is at the mercy of a complete stranger, for example when hitchhiking. On the set list of about a dozen gigs from December 31, 1999, until 2005 or 2006.'

lyrics

So you thought to save some money on your trip
Well, it ain't a bad start
To hitchhike to some friends, make some fun
Well, you'll never get that far

Don't you really see the danger
Of just getting into the first car to stop
Soon I'll make you pretty goddamn well clear that
There are reasons enough

Chorus:
Shit happens, and your time has come
And don't you dare to scream or to run
Shit happens, and your time has come
It's you and me, some bullets and a gun

So you thought to live much longer than you'll do
Well, that's a shame for you
See, I never hit the road without plan
To make my dreams come tru

Here we leave the road and drive into the woods
You'll guess what happens next
Well, I only want to make sure that you will
Never hitchhike again

Chorus

Shit happens, and your time has come
I love to kill and this time you're the one
Shit happens, and your time has come
The sight of your bloody corpse
With your bloodstained clothes
And your lifeless eyes
With your open mouth
Screaming silent cries
To the skies above
A worthless body lies
In the mud
It turns me on
