car keys for the criminally insane

i‘ve got road signs of my own, you know

but you didn’t heed the warnings

until the car keys were already in my hands

and now there’s danger on the freeway

my eyes don’t know the colour red anymore

so i just go

faster, faster now

sound the siren, we’re crashing now

i’ve never been this close to Death before

so what if i say hello, wave with all ten bloody fingers?

a few inches to the left and i‘ll kiss the oncoming cars

i’ve always been a sucker for spontaneity

so let’s spontaneously combust

in flames the colour of the stop signs i ignored

on the way to Nowhere
