Ticket to ride, white line highway
tell all your friends, they can go my way
pay your toll, sell your soul
pound for pound costs more than gold
the longer you stay, the more you pay
my white lines go a long way
either up your nose or through your vein
with nothin to gain except killin? your brain
(freeze! rock! freeze! rock! freeze! rock! freeze! rock!)
