My roadkill manifesto

lyrics

If I should die by the wheel tonight
Take my little heart as your captive
This I suggest, to remember me by
As my broken spine won’t be attractive

But my heart it stays true
It keeps thinking of you
As they scrape off my flesh from the blacktop
And if I’m the cause of this mess
I’m so sorry
I just thought I had time to make that stop

If I should die by the wheel tonight
Please remember me looking my best
Brown eyes ablaze
Singing songs on a stage
Without a fuck to invest

But my heart it stays true
It keeps thinking of you
As they pull out my ribs from the glovebox
And if I’m the cause of this mess
I’m so sorry
I just thought I had time to make that stop


If I should die by the wheel tonight
Please stake no cross in the gravel
Though X marks the spot
I loved and was loved
And no wreath can begin to unravel

How my heart it stays true
It keeps thinking of you
As they search for my legs in the cash crop
And if I’m the cause of this mess
I’m so sorry
I just thought I had time to make that stop

And mom:
Don'cha worry for a second
I was smiling til the moment I was gone
I was listening to "Tapestry"
I hope that you're not mad at me
I promise that I'll call you when
I'm home
