Amanda Palmer Have To Drive Lyrics

Have To Drive Lyrics

I have to drive

I have my reasons, dear

It’s cold outside

I
hate the seasons here



I suffer mornings most of all

I feel
so powerless and small

By ten o’clock I’m back in bed

Fighting the
jury in my head



You learn to drive

It’s only natural,
dear

You drive all night

We haven’t slept in years



We
suffer mornings most of all

We saw you lying in the road

We tried
to dig a decent grave

But it’s still no way to behave



It is
a delicate position

Spin the bottle

Pick the victim

Catch a
tiger

Switch directions

If he hollers

Break his ankles

To protect him



We’ll have to drive

They’re getting
closer

Just get inside

It’s almost over



We will save
your brothers

We will save your cousins

We will drive them far
away

From streets and lights

From all signs of bad mankind



We suffer mornings most of all

Wake up all bleary eyed and
sore

Forgetting everything we saw



(I’ll meet you in an
hour

at the car)
