They beat him til he broke in two   Bit harder than they meant   No driver but the aching world   It falls and loves descent      Trees on tiptoe looking up   A million eyes a blinking hill   No clutching hand to turn me on   No foot to force my thrill      They beat him til he broke in two   And half of him they locked in me   I didn't see which half it was   They neutralled me and set me free      Does unattached a head still dream?   Do legs still ramble on?   The sun appears the forest screams   It is a flash and then is gone   Oh my strange companion   Oh my strange companion      And nature comes to welcome us   With tiny jaws and little grins   (I didn't know she's everywhere   I'd never ever seen her win)      We'll cry you and I, be together til we die   It's great just you wait, listen to the freeway   One year, maybe dear, somebody will find us here   But now, funny how nature has her way with me      Does unattached a head still dream?   Do legs still ramble on?   The sun appears the forest screams   It is a flash and then is gone   Oh my strange companion   Oh my strange companion      Pirates by the roadside   But they don't want me   Pirates by the roadside   To set the metal free
