Lyrics

The Skids

Like gettin' stuck inside a broken elevator
Or plane crash and it's just a simulator
And gettin' sick on the food that you made
Then headin' backwards down a busy one-way

It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me

Well, you got nerve and the will to live
But every time it ends up hittin' the skids
And you can do for a thousand years
All because you never use your eyes and your ears

It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me

Like breaking down on a major highway
And no one helps when it's Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
I'm fallin' over and everyone is watchin'
No one believes in your alien abduction

It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me

And just when you start winning (start winning)
That's when the comet's hitting (comet's hitting)
And there's no use in running away

It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me

It couldn't happen to me
It couldn't happen to me
If I did hit the skids
Then I wouldn't give a shit
It couldn't happen to me
