The Accident

Calamine


Do you remember the way
does it mean anything to you at all
if the voices they say something
you thought you had heard it before
but i can guarantee this
there's only one way it can go
stick with me if you want
but i do not know the answer
to the things that you're looking for now
i don't believe but i think that somehow
we'll get where we're going to
pay the man for his sleight of hand
it's not the one that you want
look alive as my dad would say
what did you think it would cost?
i think i know you from a long time ago
do you remember my name ?
does it mean anything to you now
don't have to say
and it's swirling around in my head
it keeps me awake at night
i could tell you a story or two
but i'd rather just sit in this room
watching the late day shadows grow long
do you know how it happened
did you see the car approach
did you realize just how close you had come?
did it feel like being alive?
