who's that fella standing in the back
he's got a story he's got a name
but nobody's asking him anything
like a little moon going 'round a big world
he's got no effect upon
the big bright party that's going on 'cause
she's a 12 car pile-up
drive by and ya just gotta look
rubberneckin' in the fast lane
they say does anybody know her name
try to keep your eyes on the road
fender benders where ever she goes
she's a 12 car pile-up
and she's mine for the time being
she goes out walking in this town
(then all the workin' men come out)
the buildings turn into camera crews
the road is a carpet for her red shoes
it never seems to rain when she goes out
(it wouldn't dare mess up her blouse)
the clouds never set their drops free
they're too busy trying to get a peek
it's in slow motion....
and i would tell her that i love her so
(if she'd just slow he'd let her know)
but the crowd in trampling on my toes
i find myself on the wrong side of the road
