Rickie Lee Jones - Road kill lyrics

What's the matter with it? why's it look that way?

What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say?

What's that on its back? where's it trying to go?

A mystical vision got dressed up one night

Locked the door, walked through the misty porch light

Headed over to somebody's house

For an occasion long awaited

As it crossed the road, vista del mar

A big red car

Big black tires, nice corvette

And the future has not arrived yet

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill

Moonlight on the hill, and the future is a road kill

What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say?

What's the matter with it? I just saw it yesterday

The police came, the neighbors too

They tried to pick it up, what else can you do?

Meanwhile, somebody's waiting back at the house

For the future to dawn bright across the sky

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill

Moonlight on the hill, lights up the future

What's the matter with it? what's it trying to say?

What's the matter with it? why won't it go away?

What's the matter with it? why won't it close its eyes?

What's the matter with it? who are those guys? what's the matter with it...
