Cars Pass In Cold Blood - The Faint

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

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, 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
