Chrome On The Wheel Lyrics

Like a black dog running down an empty street

He went out in the city just to count the beats of the rain

Coming down

To the cool dark riders on the neon scene

He was a lone edge nothing cut in neoprene

Against the velvet sky

How do you say alone?

The lady of the mist wrapped him up like a snake

He encountered the fog and the night and the hate

Hound of heaven riding down his heels

Running like a banshee

Like a chrome on the wheel

Chrome on the wheel

Like a spot of beach on a desert of sand

There's no common place for an uncommon man

And the future's dead when you live in the past

Like a plague in the moment of grief

And the people he hates are the people he meets

It's a personal thing, with the rest of the world

Don't you know the lady of the mist wrapped him up like a snake

He encountered the fog and the night and the hate

Hound of heaven riding down his heels, Running like a banshee

Like a chrome on the wheel

Chrome on the wheel

Said he was a stranger

Stranger with a name tag

Wants someone to be there

And shine like a chrome on the wheel

Grabbed a piece of the night

For a soul he would climb

He said I'm gonna cut this land, just to watch it bleed
