Lyrics

ROADKILL RESCUE

I was staring at your headlights when you ran me down
You were like a 4 x 4 on a highway out of town
You didn't feel the impact but, God, it really hurt!
You headed for the horizon and left me in the dirt

Roadkill rescue
Too late! Too late! Too late!
For a roadkill rescue
Do not resuscitate

You treated me like a lowly toad, like a worm or a snake
You were feeling the thrill of the road; you did not even brake
You hardly even noticed me as you sped around the curve
I almost wished I were a skunk, at least you might have swerved

Look out! I need a roadkill rescue
Too late! Too late! Too late!
For a roadkill rescue
Getting flattened was my fate

Maybe you remember me
And my momentary look of terror
You might still catch a glimpse of me
While checking your lipstick in the rear view mirror

Why does a chicken cross the road? What's on the other side?
Some folks are born to own that road; some come along for the ride
Some are good travelling companions while others get in the way
And kids in the back seats of passing cars point at me and say

Hey, mom - he needs a roadkill rescue
Too late! Too late! Too late!
For a roadkill rescue
Might as well accelerate
A roadkill rescue
Too late! Too late! Too late!
Forget a roadkill rescue
Too late! Too late! Too late!
