Drive In Drive Out


main lyrics

I hear more than I'd like to
so I boil my head in a sense of humor
laugh at what I cannot change
and I throw it all on the pile again

Oh when I do this, I do it for you
when all that I want is so badly to be
by myself again
it's going to drive me right out of my brain

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I come back again
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out

Don't care if we all turn to waste
so when I beg, you avoid me
because I smell of dirt, hungry, hungry boy
but you won't leave me all alone
the boy won't go

Sooner or later, we're gone
sooner or later, I'm gone because because
sooner or later, we're done
sooner away

Ooh, my head is pounding now
God is all but left me behind
not a note of worry
I'm going to drive in and drive out again

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I come
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out

Here, oh, I'm over this arrangement around here
oh, emptiness sounded so good
I want to drive you right into my world

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I come
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out

alternate lyrics

I hear more than I like to
so I boil my head in a sense of humor
I laugh at all the things in the world I cannot change
and throw it all in the fire again

Ooh, when I do all, I do this for you
but all that I want is so badly to be
by myself again
and it's going to drive me right out of my head

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I'm insane again
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out

I don't care just because we dig old rust
so when I beg you, oh, you avoid me
just because I smell of dirt and some funky, funky stuff
you won't leave little boy here all alone
well, but the boy won't go

Sooner or later we're done
sooner or later because because because
sooner or later we're done
sooner away

Oh, my head is pounding now
God, it seems, has left me behind
oh, but I will not worry
I will make up a brand new god and have a funky tea party of my own

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I'm losing my mind again
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out

[...]

I'm growing tired of this arrangement around here
you know that emptiness sounds so good
until you're inside out and all you got is an echo, echo, echo, ??

Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out, I'm home
drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
drive in, drive out
