Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel - Live Manchester, UK 5-5-04 - 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 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

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

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)
