Lyrics
Vers 1
Petrol op die gruis gespat
Rooi agterligte bloei oor die pad
Honger, koud, hol van binne
Wit lyne verdwyn in my oë se sinne
Moeg oë soek nog ’n rede
Iets om te hou, iets om te red
Maar alles voel klaar verby
En ek weet nie hoekom ek nog bly
Refrein
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Ek ry tot die tenk heeltemal droog
Ek ry tot die son onder lê
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Niks oor om reg te maak
Niks oor om te sê
Post-Refrein
Ooh
Vir goed weg
Ooh
Vir goed weg
Vers 2
Staties praat deur die radio
Ou strokies lê soos spoke op die vloer
Verfrommel, klein, stofbedek
Elke ding wat ek probeer vergeet
Miskien moet ek nou aftrek
Miskien moet ek net aanhou trek
Swaar stewels druk die pedaal
Die nag trek my al hoe verder af
Refrein
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Ek ry tot die tenk heeltemal droog
Ek ry tot die son onder lê
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Niks oor om reg te maak
Niks oor om te sê
Post-Refrein
Ooh
Vir goed weg
Ooh
Vir goed weg
Brug
Gebreekte glas op die sitplek lê
Gebreekte glas in elke skeur
Gebreekte glas in my kop
Elke herinnering sny my oop
Die enjin neurie ’n lae gebed
Hy sing, hy sug, hy raak stil en koud
Hy sterf by die rand van die dorp
En los my alleen in die rook
Refrein
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Ek ry tot die tenk heeltemal droog
Ek ry tot die son onder lê
Moenie wag nie
Moenie wag nie
Niks oor om reg te maak
Niks oor om te sê
Outro
Loop nou alleen langs die pad
Stil, stil, alles is plat
Net die wind, net die nag
Net die donker wat oor my sak
Weg
