A BOY AND A CAR CROSSING CORNERS

from MISCELLANEOUS SMALL SONGS by the Lambta Da's

/

lyrics

as i walked to work one day
i saw a boy and a car crossing corners
they both had their eyes on their phones
neither of them seemed to notice
and then it happened so fast
i estimated his size
the car would hit him right in the chest
where as for me it'd only meet at my thighs
...
i didnt scream i just ran to him
and pushed him off to the side
i heard a thump and then the sound of air
and brakes, at least the driver tried
as i sat up i didnt call for help
though i saw i was losing blood
the little kid just ran up to me and said
holy shit, oh my god, what the fuck
...
i tried to walk but i just stumbled off
called into work and said i was not ok
crawled into bed and drifted in and out
i stayed at home alone a few more days
my first day out as i headed back to work
there was a trail telling me now where to go
its all still there frozen now for the winter
i walked over my pool of blood in the snow
...
