Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

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

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

Rubberneck traffic and passersby
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

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

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
