The Walkabouts - Long Drive In A Slow Machine lyrics

Baby hold that point We will get back to this But there's something that I need to say Need to say it quick Who do you wanna be The candle or the light Dyin' just for the hell of it That ain't a life It took me too much time To believe in what I know Now I'm cuttin' to the chase of it And then I'll let it go You got that rare gift To see the good in this But I wasn't born with that Now something's gotta lift Take a long, long drive In a slow machine Take a long, long drive Before they bury me And when I pick you up In my slow machine It's a long, long drive Until we hit the sea I know it's getting closer Last night there was no moon I've been seein' signs everywhere Sorry that I made a mess If your pretty train of thought Had to get this thing off my chest It's the only thing I've got We are not the chosen We choose this for ourselves We were never really here No one will miss us if we leave Take a long, long drive
