The Lyrics
*Sigh*
It's not moving
Come, let's go, let's go
It's justsomewhere I need to be, alright?
Yeah,
Woah,
Woah,
Waitin' right here, turned my radio,
Because there's no where I can go to,
I'm in Seattle,
And the freeways are a real battle,
The sign back there said only 15 minutes,
But three crosswords I have finished,
Yeah, and I don't want to lose my mind,
But I'd rather be at home trying to unwind, so,
How many people could there be,
Sitting in their cars in front of me?
I blare my horn but traffic is backed up,
I'm cracked up,
Everything I can think of to do,
I've already done,
And I'm getting pretty hungry,
So can we move this line along, please?
There's never a right time for taillights,
Yes, I have to make these cars move "cause if I don't I swear I'm gonna be late,
I swear I've been here for an hour or two,
I've heard "Ridin'" 12 times through!
I, I have to get something to eat,
Oh,
It's almost the night, stuck in traffic times,
But I know,
I've gotta go,
To the next exit,
But it's hard to maneuver and it's killing me,
Because there's never a right time,
For so many taillights,
I'm finally off the freeway and,
Cruising past familiar land,
I find myself asking why? Why?
Why is it taking so long get places,
I look up, swear I've never,
Seen a red light last forever,
But this one is getting awful close,
And I wanna know,
Why am I stopped?
There's only,
One other car,
I'm waiting on,
It's going slow and its brights are on,
Looks like Lincoln's mom,
I yelled at her "Please, I don't have all day,
Would you move along?"
I said more I couldn't put in this song,
Because, in clean comedy, it wouldn't belong,
There's never a right time for long red lights,
Now I gotta make this fossil move "cause if I don't I'll be even later, see?
"Cause I don't want to run the red,
The sheriff's just ahead,
I, I've gotta get me back up to speed,
Oh,
It's never a nice thing to take your time,
Doesn't she know,
That I've gotta go,
My separate way?
I know it's not polite, but I'm honking "cause I'm getting angry,
There's never a right time,
For old ladies and red lights,
Listen to my car, do you hear?
Rattling from the front or the rear?
There it is, I think I heard it,
I think I heard it,
Listen to the sound,
Now I think, it's getting loud,
What is that?
I can now hear it,
And suddenly the smokes start to rise,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh,
There's never a right time for sparks to fly,
I've got to pull to the side, or else it might,
Too late, oh gee,
Now the paint is melting right through,
Why does this happen to me, huh?
I'm going to have to call Triple A,
Oh,
There's never a right time for flames to rise,
But I know,
My car is toast,
Hadn't finished paying,
And I know it's hard, but what is really killing me,
Is how am I going to,
Tell this to my wife?
There's never a right time for sparks to fly,
I've got to pull to the side, or else it might,
Too late, oh gee,
Now the paint is melting right through,
Why does this happen to me, huh?
I'm going to have to call Triple A,
Oh,
There's never a right time for flames to rise,
But I know,
My car is toast,
Hadn't finished paying,
And I know it's hard, but what is really killing me,
Is how am I going to,
Tell this to my wife?
