Thrice ~ The Artist in the Ambulance LATE NIGHT BRAKES LOCKED HEAR THE TIRES SQUEAL RED LIGHT &mdash; CAN&rsquo;T STOP SO I SPIN THE WHEEL My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up and I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger and I realize that empty words are not enough I&rsquo;m left here with the question of just what have I to show except the promises I never kept? I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets Look around and you&rsquo;ll see that at times it feels like no one really cares it gets me down but I&rsquo;m still gonna try to do what&rsquo;s right, I know that there&rsquo;s a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have there&rsquo;s a line drawn in the sand, I&rsquo;m working up the will to cross it and I hope that I will never let you down I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady handsThey&rsquo;ve given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
