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

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 because 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
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
