My Hit and Run

Feel the speed through the intersection

In sheets of rain I seek out cars

Hands in gloves grip handlebars

Ride alone to the pub in the dark

I get a little wet but I don't have to park

And the lights start flashing from green to red as I ride

A car turns left and I slide

I can't turn back

I make contact

Blinkers smash into mosaic

Then I start flying

Always think we get more time

Now flying through the air

Maybe living maybe dying

In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind

Don't we always wish we had more time

I'm thrust slo-mo through time and space

Details smash and

I protect my face

And then I see yours

And go to a time when we just knew

Mister death in the car below

Doesn't even slow

And away he goes

In the majesty of a motor crash

You skid into my darkness forming

Sex and death, heartbreak and strife

They give no warning

Here it comes, my hit and run

Come down hard and roll to my feet

And rain washes blood now off concrete

People turn away and I just had to laugh

Cause I'm still flying

Living and dying

Here it comes, my hit and run

And I'd like to thank mister death for what he's done

Cause I got to walk away from my hit and run

Mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed

Cause I saw you

At my hit and run
