Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel/Hidden Sun by Barenaked Ladies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual, I'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse 2]
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground
Not the feeling, so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse 3]
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Bridge]
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much blood
[Verse 4]
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
[Outro]
And you, you're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind...

[Verse 1]
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling on the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down to the ground
[Verse 2]
Saw a falling leaf, good luck, jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
And it sunk in this induration
Induration in our lives
[Hook]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
[Verse 3]
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me, and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
[Hook]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
[Outro]
Anyone
Ooh, anyone, hm...
Hidden sun
Hidden sun...
Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual, I'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse 2]
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground
Not the feeling, so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse 3]
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Bridge]
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much blood
[Verse 4]
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
[Outro]
And you, you're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind...
