Chasing Ambulances Paroles

forcing the circumstance
chasing ambulances up the road

was that a laugh or cough?
please drop my cousin off
he's heading home to Perth
he got his money's worth in Canada

but he sure had a lot to say about America today
but she's been beaten up, she's been battered down
but we all get confused
lose sight of those tiny clues
chasing ambulances

some chasing the mighty buck
some chase till their wheels get stuck
some chasing piles of dirt
some chasing a piece of skirt

some chasing their own tails me, i'd rather chase you down
don't ask me how I found the balls to say "hey, hey, hey..."

but I sure got a lot to learn about waiting for my turn
but i've been beaten up, i've been battered down
but we all get confused
lose sight of those tiny clues
chasing ambulances

i'd rather chase you down, yeah
not ambulances, child, no
i'd rather chase you down
not ambulances, child, no
