what are the lyrics? and is it just me or does it sound kinda morbid?

It's kinda literal, it's about Vanessa hoping for a car wreckage when she was on tour (I think)
-
Actually V told us in concert that she is a horrible driver and it scares her mom and freaks out her agent that she will get into an accident. While she is driving she sometimes thinks about what it would be like to just have the car crash into the metal bumper along the median of the road. She is just kidding and I have to admit that I actually sometimes think about this too as my mind is drifting during long night drive. But is just imagining it, not really thinking she would do it.

I know I have. I think anyone who has driven on a narrow two lane highway at 70 miles per hour, or even 55, notices the potential of the danger. Even if it is not a fantasy, just because it is something you are trying to avoid from happening while driving. It is unavoidable to notice, and you realize it is just by inches sometimes you are missing oncoming traffic. Even more so if you have to slow down because someone is trying to pass and they are on your side of the highway, right in front of you, and might not make it in time because they have made a mis-misjudgment. And then there is when you are trying to pass....if you decided not to swerve back to your side of the highway, things would be messy.
You would have to be brain dead not to notice.

Speaking of this song... I was watching the Left Eye documentary on VH1 and this song came to mind as they came closer to the final eerie moment..

That documentary really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I loved that Lisa showed us how she truly felt about everything and she was finally free.

Just in case it's too inconvenient for you to look the lyrics up on nessaholics.com's lyrics page, I took the liberty of copying down for you. :wink:
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy
The rhythm, the rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights comming at me
I can't help but wonder
Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair
And ripping through the scenery
Oh, the wreckage
It is my secret need
Oh, speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

I know this is a major bump..and pointless..but this is one of my favorite V pieces..love this raw shit!!! gotta love this...I know V has explained it a couple times...but too me this song is great because it could mean a multiple of things.....
too me it seems that the song is being sung through the eyes of someone who has gotten hit by a car, or witnessed someone getting hit by a car....just my take on it...its a very graphic disturbing visual song...and probably one of the best things vanessa has done.
imo.
