| What’s the matter with it? why’s it look that way? |
| What’s the matter with it? what’s it trying to say? |
| What’s that on its back? where’s it trying to go? |
| A mystical vision got dressed up one night |
| Locked the door, walked through the misty porch light |
| Headed over to somebody’s house |
| For an occasion long awaited |
| As it crossed the road, vista del mar |
| A big red car |
| Big black tires, nice corvette |
| And the future has not arrived yet |
| Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill |
| Moonlight on the hill, and the future is a road kill |
| What’s the matter with it? what’s it trying to say? |
| What’s the matter with it? I just saw it yesterday |
| The police came, the neighbors too |
| They tried to pick it up, what else can you do? |
| Meanwhile, somebody’s waiting back at the house |
| For the future to dawn bright across the sky |
| Moonlight on the hill, lights up the road kill |
| Moonlight on the hill, lights up the future |
| What’s the matter with it? what’s it trying to say? |
| What’s the matter with it? why won’t it go away? |
| What’s the matter with it? why won’t it close its eyes? |
| What’s the matter with it? who are those guys? what’s the matter with it… |
