I stopped to fill my car up 
The car felt good that day 
I didn't know where I was going 
But it felt good for a change 
A five and a pocket full of silver 
I paid the lady no change 
And then it started to piss down 
I started driving again 
And then I looked up 
And looked in the mirror behind me 
A man round forty in the back seat 
Must have stepped in when I was empty 
So why's he sat there just waiting 
Likely to smash my face in 
He had a bag full of money 
He said 'just drive me away' 
I didn't know where I was going 
Yet it felt good to be strange 
And still I look up 
And look in the mirror behind me 
Curiosity is over 
He stepped down from the car 
He pulled a gun from his jacket 
Said I was going to die 
It gives me so much satisfaction 
To watch you beg and cry 
Well I just made up this story 
To get your attention makes me smile 
I never looked up or looked 
In the mirror behind me
