Lyrics:
 It's late enough to go drivin'
 And see what's mine
 That's a study of dying
 How to do it right
 You're a holy roller
 Get your bed in the loose
 If you're hanging around
 I'm holdin the noose

 Come a little bit closer
 And get on tight
 In a hurse rollin over
 Just a track in the line
 *** it

 Come on, let's go drivin
 Come on, let's take a little ride
 That's the study of dying
 How to do it right
