Lyrics
I had this dream I stole a car, tinkered with the wires
reversed it down the street, til the engine backfired
The rear view mirror was the only one
that I ever looked into, that I saw through
But I've never learned to drive. I just want to slash the tyres
Tow it to a scrapyard and set the thing on fire,
I want to leave a monument
To all my petty crimes, to the worst of times
Get away, Get away
Know that there's no guarantee of an escape
Concentrate, Get it right
Keep the engine running, keep your knuckles white
Human traffic moves so fast, when the light is always green
In your perpetual motion Mystery Machine
All this ringing in my ears, but I can still hear myself scream
Fingernails dig deep into the tattered steering wheel
Like there isn't already enough dirt down deep beneath
I raise my head up through the sunroof, high five the tunnel with my teeth
Bloodstains on the seats
This is not "Bullit".
It's not some gangster film.
It's not Ballard.
It's a drag,
Racing on a tank that's running thin
Engine leaking, a petrol fuse long as the road
Throwing matches out a window, in the hope I might explode
Get away.
