Stan Ridgway - Drive She Said (live) 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" "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" "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said (Okay, okay!) 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––just for a minute–– I thought I saw the both of us on some kinda tropical island someplace Walkin' down a white sandy beach Eatin' somethin'... "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said 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'" "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said Hey, hey, uh–– Hey, y'all, get outta my way!––all ya sunday drivers! Hey, you want one of these, ah, Slim Jims? They're good! What?––what? You don't––you 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
