There's a dark animal
Beside me as I drive,
Gone if I
Look in my window.

Beside me as I drive,
The round white light
Looks in my window;
It comes for me.

The round white light
On its long straight track,
It comes for me
It would crush me.

On its long straight track
I will stare it down
It would crush me
Flat into myself.

I will stare it down
And gone, if I,
Flat into myself,
Am a dark animal.
