Railroaded

Clang! Clang! Clang!    
     
Unbarred railroad crossing    
Red lights flashing    
this way,      
that way    
     
Where is the train?    
     
I wish there were other cars around me.    
I'm not sure what to do.    
     
Clang! Clang! Clang!    
     
Red lights flashing    
this way    
that way    
     
No train in sight..    
     
Clang! Clang! Clang!    
   
Red lights flashing    
this way    
that way    
   
6:30 AM    
a car pulls up    
decides to go for it    
doesn't crash    
doesn't get stuck on the tracks    
doesn't die    
   
Clang! Clang! Clang!    
   
Red lights flashing    
this way    
that way    
     
That should have been me    
but surely the train's coming now.    
i will get stuck on the tracks    
i will crash    
i will die    
     
Clang! Clang! Clang!    
     
Red lights flashing    
this way    
that way    
     
Is there an effing train or not?    
 
Clang! Clang! Clang!
 
Red lights flashing  
this way  
that way  
 
Where is the train?  
     
You know what?    
Come and get me motherfucker!    
Smash my car to smithereens.    
Let me be found behind the wheel    
looking like a liquified pizza.    
     
Clang! Clang! Clang!    
     
Red lights flashing    
this way    
that way    
     
Is the train coming now?    
     
I shrug and gun it    
     
Make it to work on time.
