there's a fire in the road where a frame is burnt
and other automobiles are slowing down around the fire
lanes are backed up and people get all anxious inside
they've got a schedule to keep and don't want life to slip by

oh uhoh
oh oh -- oh
oh uhoh uhoh
oh oh -- oh
oh uhoh uhoh

the siren and cube are coming up from behind
1981 stereo is drowned from the sound
I see a car with an urge and a driver to control it
he's carried away 'cause what he does is more important

cars pass in cold blood
I hold back; it's hard to
i really want to block
but realize it's a bad time for that

I try to stay calm and watch the ambulance pass
but as the car with the schedule pulled out of their lane
I had a terrible urge, but no driver to control it
don't get carried away 'cause what he does is not important

cars pass in cold blood
I hold back; it's hard to
i really want to block
but realize it's a bad time for that

oh oh -- oh
oh uhoh uhoh
oh oh -- oh
oh uhoh uhoh
etc.
