Songfacts®:

  • This song is about a man who makes a drug run to Los Angeles. He is delayed, and his car breaks down halfway there. He is picked up by a man on speed, but gets away. When he reaches LA, he gets "jacked in a really bad way." This song was most likely written while lead singer Isaac Brock was still on drugs. >>>

  • Jess from Kannapolis, NcI completely agree with Jenny. Boo-yah.
  • Erika from Topeka, KsAwesome, awesome song right here.
  • Jake from San Fran, CaThis song is also off "The fruit that ate itself" one of thier best albums. The only reason the 80's ended was because Issac Brock started learning to play the guitar and writing songs.
