That's the start the middle and the end
Aren't you glad the universe pretend
If I don't get this message honed
Once again I'm gonna hate alone

Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me

Bored aloud ignore the right to be
Invite me down because we like to see
The colours through your loaded mind
F*ck the world and liberate our time

Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me

I'm not waiting alone
I'm not waiting alone

Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
