Creative musing on what someone might think about immediately following a traffic accident near a river, partially inspired by Spock's Beard "Ballad of the Impact"

lyrics

V1:

but for the shattered glass that splays around me / what has happened here?

was it a long-form instance of the classic / accidental tear?

but for the great impact they must have seen me / in some tragic fear

as for the far-flung repercussions, darling / we aren't even there (YET)

CH:

i remember the river / i remember the water

i remember nothing else / the rest is in pieces

pieces, pieces, pieces!

Pieces, pieces, pieces, PIECES!

V2:

instinct can hardly be relied on / if you want to get out now

no trust in anything but what you see / if this is your true route

and should the floor fall out from under you / i cannot promise life

but it should go without saying that / i will always try to fight (THEM)

[CH]

OUTRO:

The rest is in pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces!

Pieces, pieces, pieces, PIECES!

PIECES, PIECES, PIECES, PIECES!
