about

Something in my subconscious said 'What if we combine cliché folk phrases with car crash imagery?' Done, and done. Musically, this is the first song of many where there's this extreme counterpoint going on: one instrument in the left channel plays every note that the right channel instrument isn't playing. They don't hit any of the same notes, but it's very precise; not a mistake. Plus you get this bitchen, psychedelic ping-pong effect, dude.

lyrics

The
Highbeams are on; your vision is blurry
Fasten your seat-belts cus we're in a hurry
The Angel of Death it nests on your shoulder
The coals on your feet they begin to smolder
You've had your fun now; now you can go home
Your thinking's but an inkling you can't call your own
You're in a collision like Smokey and The Bandit
If your life was a movie, even Burt Reynolds would of canned it!

You counted your chickens; you were tempting fate
Don't knock on wood now cus now it's too late
You were big for your britches; you gathered no moss
A stitch in nine hundred would avail you naught
Your knuckles on the wheel they whiten and tighten
One look in the mirror and you're hooked and they're biting
It follows and swallows cus you were the bait:
You had your fun, sucker, you were tempting fate!

You were tempting fate
Fate you were tempting
Tempting fate you were
Were tempting fate you
You were tempting fate
Fate you were tempting
Tempting fate you were
Tempting.....
