Verse 2:
Little brown sausages lying in the sand

Verse 3:
Well I don't lose my composure in a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex

(Chorus)

(Jam)

Verse 4:
I'm gonna drive all night take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun to shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof the shape of a heart

And I'm goin' out west Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west
Goin' out west
