Verse 1:
As the clock struck midnight
Passengers aboard the night bus
A slogan on the side read…
Our determination is getting you quickly to your destination
If only they knew that no soul was exempt
from ever escaping the night bus
Verse 2:
A one way ticket stamped with their demise
Barbed wire for windows but no exits which to them was a surprise
These lost souls beg the driver who reeked of sulfur where they were going
As he grins with an declaration “we’re going to the gates of hell”!
An expeditious voyage on a scorching highway
The bus returns to it usual stop every Friday night
to carry a new collection of lost souls
who’ll enter this nightmare as their new home
Rusted by harmonized blood curdling screams as their souls char into seats
The exterior was never pristine but
the bus was supplied with never ending fuel
energized by their souls
No one will ever know these passengers were missing
One thing that was promising was that this ride was their last
No luggage needed,
just yourself so say goodbye to your past
All aboard The night bus where “Our determination is getting you quickly to your destination”
