|
She took the stand |
|
Her time had come |
|
To describe the screech of tyres |
|
The sudden hit and run |
|
She pulled out from her purse |
|
The mouth organ |
|
Began describing all she'd seen |
|
In an eerie, haunting tune |
|
The cloudy afternoon |
|
The unexpected turn |
|
Resulting in the death |
|
Of the pedestrian |
|
How the accident was caused |
|
How the current war |
|
And all that happens in this world |
|
Has been written in the stars |
|
From the day that they invented the car |
|
She finished up |
|
A little out of breath |
|
The judge stood up |
|
And threw out all her arguments |
|
He had a good mind, so he said |
|
To sentence her to death |
|
But she'd suffered quite enough |
|
Said the counsel for defence |
|
She stepped out of the court |
|
Happy to be freed |
|
Failed to see the laundry van |
|
Bearing down at speed |
|
All that happens in this world |
|
Has been written in the stars |
|
From the day they invented the car |
