Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel

Lyrics

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 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
 HIDDEN SUN (hidden track)
 Suddenly, things become unsound
 Stumbling on the shakey ground
 Given arrows to shoot tornados down, shoot them down
 To the ground
 Saw a falling leaf, a good luck, jump to grab
 Much to our surprise, a butterfly
 And it sunk in this induration, induration
 In our lives
 CHORUS
 Inside ourselves
 A hidden sun that burns and burns
 It never does any harm to anyone
 Shivering madly in the dark
 Like an animal abandoned in the car park
 And she held me, and the she showed me
 The beauty of the human heart
 CHORUS
 CHORUS
 Anyone
 Oo, anyone
 Hidden sun
 (Sun, sun, sun)
 Hidden sun
 Oo (sun, sun, sun)
 (Sun, sun, sun)
 (Sun, sun, sun)
 (Sun, sun, sun)
 (Sun, sun, sun)
