Accident On 3Rd Street lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Accident On 3Rd Street lyrics Linda was killed last Saturday bout fifteen blocks from where she lives in a car crash, people gathered around the gravesite, friends and relatives, dressed in black. Preacher mumblin how she s bound to go to Heaven, the service started at half-past ten, it was all over by eleven. They said: God s to give, and God s to take away, but why He happened to pick Linda on a Saturday night, no one could say. Maybe it s just one of those things, one of those things. They found guy who did it, he had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes, and he gazed around the courtroom with a kind of vague suprise. Reminded me of one of those Vikings with the long-handled swords, the kind of guy even Joan Baez would not feel non-violent towards. Said he wasn t looking, maybe he had had a bit too much, it was dark, it was raining, he didn t see the light of the sun and such. It was just one of those things, one of those things. I asked an old uncle of the girl the situation and he gave me this reply, while pointing a bony finger up into the general direction of the sky: "Get on with your own life, it is not ours to reason why," said he used to worry about it once when he was young, now he doesn t even bother to try. He left me with a feeling that what he said was basically sound, like a black hole in space, or velocity, useless but profound. Just one of those things, one of those things. Tonight I m gonna take myself down to my local cafe, gonna get smashed out of my mind, gonna waste myself away. Gonna drink and drink and sink into that dark abyss, I wanna be just like that Viking, I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss. Linda s in the cold ground, won t see her anymore. Somewhere out on the highway tonight, the drunken engines roar. It s just one of those things, one of those things. Oh, just one of those things. song lyrics
