Crashing Down

Dancing round the arena Trying to escape the fact That this show can't make me happy And this dance is just an act People sighing irritably As I desperately try To recreate the atmosphere This can no more supply Defeated I stand still Watching expectations fail The lights go up and so Back to the car I trail My friend drives cautiously Through the midnight traffic's snare But we're tired and disappointed And forget how to beware So slowly then I witness A lorry clips her car And we go spinning sluggishly At eighty miles an hour It's like a fairground ride Crashing into metal walls These could be my last moments And I do not care at all And when this deadly crash occured just like I'd always dreamed There's a reason why I didn't gasp and why I never screamed And when the doctor told me "Easily you could have died" There's a reason why I didn't gape and why I never cried.
