Drive

(John Foxx / Louis Gordon)

If you keep your heart in a velvet place
And you never wake up in a state of grace
And you don't look around and you never ask why
I need to watch the weather while I read the sky

Chorus:
When I drive
When I drive
When I drive
When I drive

There's an awful lot of people who you never call
When you live too fast and you walk too tall
And I drive by the factory and the mission bell
Then I look down the tunnel at the face of hell

(Chorus)

Drive away...

I'm going to drive, drive, drive myself away
I'm going to turn, turn, turn to a state of grace
I'm going to shake, shake, shake all the city gates
Because the sky's on fire and all the bridges break
When I drive... drive away
When I drive... drive away

Drive by the factory and the mission bell
And I drive down the tunnel to the face of hell
And it streams, and it gleams, it's a wishing well
There's an awful lot of feelings I can never tell

(Chorus)

Well I ran to the scene and the seas are flame
And I ran through the city but the city was changed
And I ran to the river but the tides won't wait
But I can pass through the flames to a state of grace

(Chorus)

I said...
Hey, hey you can drive away
I said...
Hey, hey I can drive away
I said...
Hey, hey I can drive away
I said...
Hey, hey I can drive away

Well I hid my heart under a concrete wall
And I stood to lose so I lost it all
I see an awful lot of people who never call
They will watch you run and then they'll watch you crawl

(Chorus)

I'm going to drive, drive, drive myself away
I'm going to take, take, take all the big mistakes
I'm going to turn them 'round to a state of grace
And when I pass through the flames I won't hide my face

(Chorus)

I said...
Hey, hey drive away
I said...
Hey, hey you can drive away
I said...
Hey, hey drive away
I said...
Hey, hey you can drive away

Drive away...
(repeat)
