	This song about hanging out in cemeteries is fast paced and driving. Shawn O'Neill's inspired heavy guitar noise also sets it apart from other Payne's Grey tracks showing the bands interestingly large range.

	Story Behind the Song "The Ride" tells a tale that reminds me of something that a lot of us used to do as kids -- hanging out in cemeteries in the middle of the night, coming a little closer to a conscious awareness of our own mortality. There can be things quite revealing in places of the dead, and this song reminds us that "life gives you but one true chance / To shine beyond the clay that we are." Sometimes we need these concrete reminders that life is only so long. Lyrics The Ride This is our only reward This is what we've waited for Dancing through greenery, we see only gray 'cause the night stole the colors and leads us away to play Let me take you where I like The hidden tale in our demented dance reveals life gives you but one true chance to shine beyond the clay that we are This is their final reward Respect means nothing to the bored The silence they offer The light that we give We dance in their honor We dance so that they may live Let me take you where I like The hidden tale in our demented dance reveals life gives you but one true chance to shine beyond the clay that we are This is how we get off big As the lively haunts of our favorite digs After Woody's closes And we're left with nowhere to go A short drive down Hillside lies our second home Let me take you where I like The hidden tale in our demented dance reveals life gives you but one true chance to shine beyond the clay that we are This is our only reward This is what we've waited for Dancing through greenery, we see only gray 'cause the night stole the colors and leads us away to play Let me take you on a ride In silence we play for we have no tomorrows as they have no todays.
