The Faint: "Cars Pass In Cold Blood" Lyrics

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

because 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

because 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.
