Anyone else ever have that dream

where you’re behind the wheel

driving on a mountain road

and there’s a corner up ahead

You have plenty of reaction time

and yet you find yourself

not following the curve

Instead you fly right off

(of course in slow motion)

and there’s that brief moment

before you wake up

that you think it’s gonna hurt

or maybe you won’t feel a thing

Maybe it’ll be nice and quick

a tragedy easily avoided

but inevitable now

You ever have that dream?

I think I have that life

a sequence of inevitable

avoidable disasters

corners I could steer into

with ease and keep on going

but somehow I keep trying to fly
