Road Kill
What's the matter with it? why's it look that way? What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say? What's that on its back? where's it trying to go? A mystical vision got dressed up one night Locked the door, walked through the misty porch light Headed over to somebody's house For an occasion long awaited As it crossed the road, vista del mar A big red car Big black tires, nice corvette And the future has not arrived yet Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill Moonlight on the hill, and the future is a road kill What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say? What's the matter with it? I just saw it yesterday The police came, the neighbors too They tried to pick it up, what else can you do? Meanwhile, somebody's waiting back at the house For the future to dawn bright across the sky Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill Moonlight on the hill, lights up the future What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say? What's the matter with it? why won't it go away? What's the matter with it? why won't it close its eyes? What's the matter with it? who are those guys? what's the matter with it... Aus Songtexte Mania
