No Wings

Written by Douglas Firestein

My name is Doug
I live across the street
Someone’s in my basement
They can not breathe

I could use some help
If you have time to spare
To put them in my trunk
They’re too heavy for the stairs

Don’t ask any questions
It’s best you don’t know
You aren’t an accomplice
Just someone who helped

When the car hits 60
Coming up on a cliff
We’ll undo our seat belts
Because it’s time to eject

Watching as it plummets
Disappointment grows in me
It wasn’t like the television
The car didn’t grow no wings!

First name is Doug
Last is Firestein
I witnessed the crime
It was the man beside me

He asked for me to help
If I had time to spare
Then put a gun in my face
It had me really scared

When the car hits 60
Coming up on a cliff
We’ll undo our seat belts
Because it’s time to eject

Watching as it plummets
Disappointment grows in me
It wasn’t like the television
The car didn’t grow no wings!

The cops bought the lie
Now that man sits in jail
I’m consoling his wife
My plan has prevailed

When the car hits 60
Coming up on a cliff
We’ll undo our seat belts
Because it’s time to eject

Watching as it plummets
Disappointment grows in me
It wasn’t like the television
The car didn’t grow no wings!
