Lyrics
Don't brake for animals tonight
Emphasis on not slowing down for animals, prioritizing passenger safety
Got to keep the passengers safe
Highlighting the importance of keeping passengers safe during the journey
No help can be found in this part of the world
Describing a desolate area where assistance or help is not readily available
Don't brake for animals tonight
Reiteration of the instruction not to brake for animals
Don't let the night slow you down
Encouraging the driver to maintain speed and not be hindered by the night
Got to get the passengers home
Stressing the goal of getting passengers safely to their destination
The road is empty, your lights are bright
Describing the road as empty with bright lights, suggesting clear visibility
Don't let the night slow you down
Reiteration of not letting the night impede progress
Be-be-bus plunge (One more cup of coffee and I'll be alright)
Introduction of the phrase "bus plunge" with a humorous reference to coffee
The driver says bus plunge (pop a bennie, another bennie)
The driver expressing the use of substances (bennies) to stay awake or alert
The driver says bus plunge, bus plunge
Repetition of the phrase "bus plunge," possibly hinting at a risky situation
Stay to the right of the line
Instruction to stay on the right side of the road for safety
Don't get the passengers scared
Advising the driver to avoid alarming passengers with sudden moves
The curves in the road are not really there
Suggesting that the perceived challenges or obstacles may not be real
Stay to the right of the line
Reiteration of the instruction to stay on the right side of the road
Be-be-bus plunge (One more cup of coffee and I'll be alright)
Repetition of the humorous reference to coffee and the phrase "bus plunge"
The driver says bus plunge (pop a bennie, another bennie)
Continuation of the driver's use of substances to stay awake
The driver says bus plunge, bus plunge
Repetition of the phrase "bus plunge," emphasizing a potential risk
Don't brake for animals tonight
Reiteration of the instruction not to brake for animals
(Never mind the creatures in the road ahead)
Dismissal of creatures in the road, suggesting a disregard for obstacles
The driver says don't brake for animals tonight
Driver's instruction again not to brake for animals
(Run the stoplight, run the stoplight)
Suggesting running a stoplight, possibly indicating a reckless approach
The driver says don't brake for animals tonight
Repetition of the instruction not to brake for animals
(Don't think about the lady in the Chevy turning left)
Advising not to dwell on potential dangers or distractions
The driver says don't brake for animals tonight
Reiteration of the instruction not to brake for animals
(Almost home, you're almost home)
Encouraging the driver that the destination is close
The driver says bus plunge, bus plunge
Repetition of the phrase "bus plunge," possibly indicating a looming risk
