I've been away and I've been down on my luck

And I almost died...

I was away and I called home

I was on a highway phone

And I did not see

That a speeding car had come at me

A speeding car which came at me



I want another daydream

I want another slacker life



I almost die today

But indeed I walked away

I am ignorant too

And just as flaky as you



I almost die today

But indeed I walked away

Sometimes it's hard to see

Why indeed we should all love it here?

I was stranded on the road

And I almost froze

When I tried to sleep

My girlfriend's voice on the phone

It was dark, I was alone

And I did not see a speeding car that came at me

The speeding car which came at me
