Joke Mountain - Midnight Passenger Lyrics

Here's the revised version with line breaks between the sections:

I'm drivin' home late night rain hittin' hard
Streetlights flickerin' feelin' lost feelin' scarred
It's one of those nights where the shadows creep
Thoughts in my head runnin' way too deep

Headlights cut through see her standin' there
Drenched to the bone with that long dark hair
Pull up slow like I'm caught in a trance
She looks my way man nothin' feels by chance

Roll down the window "you need a ride?"
She smiles real soft says "just need a place to hide"
Eyes like midnight pullin' me in
And for a moment I forget where I've been

But there's somethin' off yeah somethin' not right
A chill in the air cuttin' through the night
Thought she needed savin' but she's lookin' for prey
And the closer she gets the more I sway

Now she's leanin' in whisperin' real low
And I catch a glimpse of the fangs that show
Suddenly I'm thinkin' 'bout all them films I seen
"Dracula" "Blade" every damn vampire scene

I remember garlic crosses silver and stakes
So I reach for my keys hands startin' to shake
My heart's racin' fast but I keep my cool
'Cause if I play it right I ain't nobody's fool

I grab the wooden rosary hangin' from my mirror
Hold it up high tryin' to face my fear
She hisses back steps away from the light
And I'm thinkin' "damn movies had this right"

I find a pen in the glove box grip it tight
Break it in half make myself a stake tonight
She's backin' up now but her eyes lock on mine
And suddenly her voice cuts through soft and divine

"You don't want this" she says "we're not so different you and me"
And I'm fallin' under like I'm drownin' at sea
My hands start shakin' the stake feels cold
And I'm seein' my life every story I've told

She's speakin' in riddles and I'm losin' my breath
Feelin' her pull like she's callin' for death
I'm frozen trapped can't move or speak
And for a moment man I'm feelin' weak

But then I remember that one flick that one scene
Where the hero breaks free tears down the screen
I bite my own tongue taste the blood run
And it's like my senses snap back every single one

I lunge forward thrust that stake deep in her chest
Her eyes go wide she gasps outta breath
She crumbles turns to ashes rain mixin' with dust
And I'm standin' there shakin' but I did what I must

Now I'm back in my car breathin' heavy soaked through
Lookin' at the rain thinkin' "man what'd I just do?"
I faced the darkness made it out alive
Sometimes you gotta be the one who survives

I drive off slow wipin' blood from my face
Another night another twist but I found my place
'Cause when life comes at you teeth bared eyes cold
You remember the lessons the stories you've been told
