News travels fast, there's an old wreck in the underpass   Wine in a glass and a well traveled bed, down the length   And breadth of the motorway, down the information highway      I took a ride in an angels heap   Yeah, I took a ride and she took me away   To where the hills are steep, yeah I took a ride      In the still mind of a child, there's a live bird on her shoulder   She could swallow a lie like she's drinking a flagon of beer   I'll never be the same again, let the black wheels fly over      I took a ride in an angels heap and she took me away   To where the air was sweet and she made me come alive   In a red vinyl seat, yeah I took a ride, let the black wheels fly over
