Pile-Up - Mark gillespie

There’s a pile-up on the highway

Bodies lying all around

There’s moaning on the footpath

What a horrible sound!

Face goes through the windscreen

Leg goes through the door

I thought I heard somebody scream

Couldn’t be too sure

Now we’re moving in slow motion

To a piercing steering wheel

There’s chaos and commotion

The whole thing’s a bit too real

There’s a terrifying silence

And then transistor noise

Noise

Must have got a few of the boys

And I read it in the morning

It was the worst one they’d seen for years

And they didn’t even see the warning

Now they’re all mourning

Old ladies’ve got tears in their eyes

Pile-up on the highway

Anybody going my way?

Pile-up on the highway

Anybody going my way?

Hey!

Just a one-inch dedication

Saying life can be so cruel

Just a one-inch dedication

They think you’re some kind of fool!

Anybody going my way?
