Lyrics

- now confirmed -

DON'T DRIVE ON ICE

Long slow carambolage
That’s not waving, that is drowning
Your truck is underwater, outside of any town
Wind the windows down
Can’t wind the windows down
From the wrong side
Don’t drive on ice
Flame on the other side
Don’t drive on ice
You’re looking at a river
Don’t drive on ice
It’s all electric
There were sparks and then there weren’t
You took the bridge and it is burnt
