I am a freaking pile
Of nerves and muscles
And bones and things
That don't mean nothing
To a brain exploiting
This nervous vessel
Sending out smoke signals
And non-toxic gases
Just to clear the air
If the feeling's mutual
If I'm spinning out
Better put it in neutral
Now I'm afraid of stalling
'Cause the outcome's heavy
Watch me run your ass down
In my big black Chevy
I'm a car wreck
Waiting for a paycheck
Counting on the things that happen
That you'd never see coming
Only hindsight
Registers my eyesight
Once again, the feeling's helpless
And the tow truck doesn't come on time
Now I'm just a heartbeat closer
To a long cold ringing
While I'm laid out on the table
With all the doctors singing"How to Save a Life
Or something less ironic
Now it's"Closing Time
They're singing Semisonic
Only Heaven knows
The sounds that cut right through ya
When I meet Jeff Buckley
I'm screaming"Hallelujah
That's if Peter feels bad
Or Hell's closed for renovations
These are thoughts that I have
As I reach to change the station
I'm a car wreck
Waiting for a paycheck
Counting on the things that happen
That you'd never see coming
Only hindsight
Registers my eyesight
Once again, the feeling's helpless
And the tow truck doesn't come
And time keeps passing
While this turn lane's ending
There's a snow drift suggesting that
Some air could do us all a little
Justice leaving
Watch my tires leaping
From the ground
Now, once again
All our plans
And everything is ruined
