The Skids
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like gettin' stuck inside a broken elevator
Or plane crash and it's just a simulator
And gettin' sick on the food that you made
Then headin' backwards down a busy one-way
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
Well, you got nerve and the will to live
But every time it ends up hittin' the skids
And you can do for a thousand years
All because you never use your eyes and your ears
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
Like breaking down on a major highway
And no one helps when it's Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
I'm fallin' over and everyone is watchin'
No one believes in your alien abduction
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
And just when you start winning (start winning)
That's when the comet's hitting (comet's hitting)
And there's no use in running away
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
