Alexander Bentley - Rabbit in the Road lyrics

From green gra** To hard pavement To black tar asphalt You moved so swiftly Like a fury with a purpose Scurrying across the road At lighting speed We were driving Down the same road Our paths crossed For only a fleeting second A moment trapped in time You were a white blur Out of the corner of my eye You darted so fast Under the vehicle No time to react No time to stop You were a rabbit in the road That went splat With a tiny crunch Under the enormous wheel Flattened to a bloody, furry mess My friend was driving And I was riding in the pa**enger seat I told her I just saw a bunny Go under the speeding truck She insisted on going back to see And sure enough We found you dead A dead rabbit in the road She was sad And so was I Both sad riding back home Your sudden d**h Reminds me of how quickly A life can be lost Even when you least expect it Thank you Mr. Rabbit For this reminder I'm so sorry you lost your life But I'm glad you died swifly Just like how fast you moved Across that road On that dark night.
