Drive Away (song – not story!)

Lines of fire cut the night and carry me home behind the lights.

Behind the scenes my heart will weep with the joy of freedom as the city sleeps.

The mirror shows a darkning world that breaks and fades in careless swirls.

Up ahead I hear the sigh–a promised whisper: I’ll never die.

Upon my wheels I rest my fate and take my life whichever way.

The slug trail pulls my hypnotic glare–the call of the wild to anywhere.

Pallid yellow, my skin and stone, with the same known silence as the radio drone.

Watch through the screen as the edges smear. Keep your arms inside and your vision clear.

Drive away from here. Drive away from this. You’ll get away from here. You’ll get away with this.

Drive away from here. Drive away with this. You’ll get away from here. You’ll get away from this.

Summer takes the blame away with blistered bare flesh from the shade.

Lie back and bake and think of how you’re never there, no paradise found.

Evil eye, to fly or fight? Your future lies in the tail lights.

One step ahead. Watch behind. The snap-jaw waits for us all in kind.

Drive away from here. Drive away from this. You’ll get away from here. You’ll get away with this.

Drive away from here. Drive away with this. You’ll get away from here. You’ll get away from this.
