stan ridgway – drive, she said lyrics
sittin’ right behind me
i could smell her perfume
it was somethin’ i’d smelled before
went through a red light
while i spilled my drink
i could feel somethin’ sticky on the floor
i said “miss, you’ve gotta tell me
where you wanna go to
i can’t keep drivin’ round the same block”
so i crumpled my cup
and pulled the gum off my shoe
and then she told me “just shut up
and keep your eyes on the road”
chorus:
“and just drive,” she said
“just drive,” she said
“just drive,” she said
well, i watched her put her hands
on the bag in her lap
while i scratched the bald spot on my head
i knew then that my cab was just
a getaway car
but i shut up and drove, like she said
i took a bite of my doughnut
and i offered her one
and i said “lady, are you in a fix? ”
then she reached in her purse
and she pulled out a gun, and said
“now just shut up, and keep your hands on the wheel”
chorus repeat (okay, okay!)
spoken
then the moon disappeared, and it started to rain,
so i put the wipers on full.
and on the bag in her lap i saw the name of a big bank downtown.
and i said, “you don’t have to worry about me, nope!”
when i turned the headlights on¨c¨cjust for a minute¨c¨c
i thought i saw the both of us on some kinda tropical island someplace.
walkin’ down a white sandy beach.
eatin’ somethin’…
chorus repeat
we pulled outta traffic
down a dark side street
she was fixin’ her hair in the mirror
i made a left turn
at a yellow light
drove my cab fast towards the pier
she boarded the boat
and turned and blew me a kiss
and later on, when the squad car came ’round
i ate a handful of peanuts
and i told ’em this
“i don’t rememeber much, except ‘just keep your hands on the wheel'”
chorus repeat until fade
spoken:
hey, hey, uh¨c¨c
hey, y’all, get outta my way!¨c¨call ya sunday drivers!
hey, you want one of these, ah, slim jims? they’re good!
what? ¨c¨cwhat? you don’t¨c¨cyou don’t want one?
well they’re 100% meat!
haven’t i seen you somewhere before?
i know, i know, anchorage, that’s where i seen ya, anchorage.
well, where you goin’?
i’m sorry, i don’t go in that part of town anymore.
i don’t need my windows washed.
