Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics - Maroon - Barenaked Ladies

Driving home to be with you 

The highway's dividing, the city's in view 

As usual, I'm almost on time 

You're the last thing that's on my mind 

I wish I could tell you the way that I feel 

But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel 

No commotion, no screaming brakes 

Most of it's over before I awake 

From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips 

While out my window, the horizon does flips 

The worst part was hitting the ground 

Not the feeling so much as the sound 

Can't help but wonder if all this is real 

'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel

Rubberneck traffic and passersby 

And Slow Motion Walter, the fire engine guy 

Stand around with their mouths open wide 

I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside 

With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried 

Nobody here can know how I feel 

'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel 

I guess it's over now 

'Cause I've never seen so much 

Never seen so much, never seen so much 

Never seen so much, never seen so much 

I guess it's over now 

'Cause I've never seen so much 

Never seen so much, never seen so much blood

In all the confusion there's something serene 

I'm just a posthumous part of the scene 

Now, I'm floating above, looking in 

As the radio blares and wheels spin 

I can see my face slump with a grin 

And you, you're the last thing on my mind 

You're the last thing on my mind 

You're the last thing on my mind 

You're the last thing on my mind 

HIDDEN SUN (hidden track) 

Suddenly, things become unsound 

Stumbling on the shakey ground 

Given arrows to shoot tornados down, shoot them down 

To the ground 

Saw a falling leaf, a good luck, jump to grab 

Much to our surprise, a butterfly 

And it sunk in this induration, induration 

In our lives 

CHORUS 

Inside ourselves 

A hidden sun that burns and burns 

It never does any harm to anyone 

Shivering madly in the dark 

Like an animal abandoned in the car park 

And she held me, and the she showed me 

The beauty of the human heart 

CHORUS 

CHORUS 

Anyone 

Oo, anyone 

Hidden sun 

(Sun, sun, sun) 

Hidden sun 

Oo (sun, sun, sun) 

(Sun, sun, sun) 

(Sun, sun, sun) 

(Sun, sun, sun) 

(Sun, sun, sun)
