My friend picked me up about quarter past five
We stopped and got some doughnuts and we took a little drive
We had a can of nitrous
We rolled the windows up
Now we're breathing deeply
Breathing deeply

And there's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck or what

We spent many years always trying to get high
Smoking broken pencils and beating up kids
Talking to the devil and drinking a Coke
Now we're totally rocking
Totally rocking

And there's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck or what

We got a good idea so we pulled off the road
Got some Molly Hatchet going on the stereo
I said, "Let's roll up the windows and let the nitrous go"
Now we can't stop laughing
Can't stop laughing

And there's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
Or what the fuck is going on

Do that you know
It's like
And I really don't think that I know what to do
There's a hand in my shoe
Yeah

There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck

There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck or what

There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
There's a fume in this truck
And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck or what

And I don't know if we're dead or what the fuck
