I walked along a black ice capped road One evening not lacking the bite of winter. As cars hummed by with lights blinding I thought how easily I could die So I sprung out in song about my death Singing gaily and chipper I played out a scenario of a hit and run collision My head was cracked on the pavement upon impact And I was laying there singing "oh they left me, see how they left me. Not a care in the world, they must have thought I was a speed bump." I questioned my sanity to have seen and entertained such gruesome morbid thoughts but I realized I was in good spirits. Jovial and giddy Skipping down the road So I questioned my psyche Then I realized there is nothing to fear about death when you're really alive.
