Remember
|
||||
Remember the beer.
Remember the foam.
Remember the night
you didn't make it home.
Remember the sirens
Remember the chase
Remember the night
you emptied the case.
Remember the pain
remember the scream
I remember the night
I hoped it was a dream.
Remember the hospital
and the men in white
Remember the casket
that shut out the light.
Remember the day
that everyone cried
they couldn't believe
that you had died.
the car is all crumpled
the engine is still
i was at home wondering
why you had been killed
it may seem unfair
that someone so young
should pay such a price
for having some fun
but you got into the car
with alcohol on your breath
turned on the engine
and drove to your death.
