Barenaked Ladies - Tonight Is The Night I Fall Asleep At The Wheel lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving home to be with you The highway's dividing, the city's in view As usual, I'm almost on time You're the last thing that's on my mind I wish I could tell you the way that I feel But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel [Verse 2] No commotion, no screaming brakes Most of it's over before I awake From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips While out my window, the horizon does flips The worst part was hitting the ground - Not the feeling so much as the sound Can't help but wonder if all this is real Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel [Verse 3] Rubberneck traffic and pa**ersby And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy Stand around with their mouths open wide I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried Nobody here can know how I feel Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel [Bridge] I guess it's over now Cause I've never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much I guess it's over now Cause I've never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much So much blood [Verse 4] In all the confusion, there's something serene I'm just a posthumous part of the scene Now I'm floating above looking in As the radio blares and wheels spin I can see my face slump with a grin And you...you're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind
