Drive - John Foxx, Louis Gordon

If you keep your heart in a velvet place

And you never wake up in a state of grace

And you don’t look around and you never ask why

I need to watch the weather while I read the sky

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

There’s an awful lot of people who you never call

When you live too fast and you walk too tall

And I drive by the factory and the mission bell

Then I look down the tunnel at the face of hell

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

Drive away…

I’m going to drive, drive, drive myself away

I’m going to turn, turn, turn to a state of grace

I’m going to shake, shake, shake all the city gates

Because the sky’s on fire and all the bridges break

When I drive

Drive away

When I drive

Drive away

Drive by the factory and the mission bell

And I drive down the tunnel to the face of hell

And it streams, and it gleams, it’s a wishing well

There’s an awful lot of feelings I can never tell

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

Well I ran to the scene and the seas are flame

And I ran through the city but the city was changed

And I ran to the river but the tides won’t wait

But I can pass through the flames to a state of grace

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

I said

Hey, hey you can drive away

I said

Hey, hey I can drive away

I said

Hey, hey I can drive away

I said

Hey, hey I can drive away

Well I hid my heart under a concrete wall

And I stood to lose so I lost it all

I see an awful lot of people who never call

They will watch you run and then they’ll watch you crawl

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

I’m going to drive, drive, drive myself away

I’m going to take, take, take all the big mistakes

I’m going to turn them 'round to a state of grace

And when I pass through the flames I won’t hide my face

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

When I drive

I said

Hey, hey drive away

I said

Hey, hey you can drive away

I said

Hey, hey drive away

I said

Hey, hey you can drive away

Drive away

Drive away

Drive away

Drive away
