Body Damage Lyrics

A life was stolen
Today
A moment passed
And it was gone

The carnage in the car
Accompanied the girl
Who was here,
Now she's there
In a 3 by 8 foot cell


I'm afraid of my soul
Leaving my body there
On a gassoaked road with nothing to give

Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it's me they bury

Where is it we compromise to be?
Why is it we think
"It never will be me"?

Crash scene depicted
With the victim
Ejected
Out

Crushing of bone
Feeling of shock
Running the stop

Cue paramedic,
Triage requested
Until
The 3 by 8 foot cell

I'm afraid of my soul
Leaving my body there
On a bloodsoaked road with nothing to give

Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it's me they bury

Where is it we compromise to be?
Looking away at the wrong
Time

So many others are complacent
Caution may not stop a reckless path
The driver of the car
Was shrieking as the girl

Who was here
Fought for air
I hope I'm never there

Strewn on the pavement
Strewn on the pavement

Cue paramedics,
Triage requested

Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it's me they bury

I'm afraid of leaving my body there
Strewn on the pavement
I'm afraid of leaving my body there
