Drive Lyrics

Here I drive down the 5

To visit an old friend who don't want to see me

But that's what I'm doing for two days of crazy

With the owls and the house cats laying dead on the shoulder

And the broken glass, it picks up the sunlight

And throws it in my eyes, making my tears dry

As I drive

And I wonder how you're doing

But then I remember that you just died

And so I pray that you can somehow know

That I love you, and if there's a way for you to call me

I hope that you do

Be a ghost in my coffee, rattle my windows

As I drive

All the cars seem sleepy and sad

They whisper to themselves, lumbering forward

And an RV'er couple packed to the gills with styrofoam peanuts

Soaking in windex

They waddle along, and they toss out a bone

To the scab-faced meth mouth spanging the rest stop

As we drive

If all the gas that I've ever burned in pursuit

Of a harmless life

Could somehow flow like a river

It'd flood me right off of the earth
