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)
