[00:00.00]Drive, He Said (Now The Truth Can Be Told Album Version) - Steve Taylor
[00:24.98]On a desert road that steamed the sky
[00:26.82]With the windows up and the air on high
[00:32.62]I was off the stage I was on the mend
[00:34.72]With a solo drive to a holiday weekend
[00:40.41]My thirsty car came to a stop
[00:42.47]At the Reptile Gardens Curio Shop
[00:43.81]When a wind came hissing through the vents
[00:46.20]And I felt my sneakers growing tense
[00:48.01]My forehead broke in a cold cold sweat
[00:50.21]In the rearview mirror was a silhouette
[00:51.72]Then I heard the doorlocks take a dive
[00:53.77]And a whisper screamed
[00:55.07]"Don't turn around just drive"
[01:00.35]Scratch Dressed in red
[01:01.95]--pointy tail and horn-rimmed head
[01:03.76]And a widow's peak like Eddie Munster
[01:07.63]I sat frozen in my seat
[01:09.56]--"We haven't had the chance to meet
[01:11.72]Are you a singing telegram or something "
[01:15.27]He just flashed a hellish smile
[01:17.09]--"Let's go driving for a while"
[01:19.19]He held something in his hand
[01:21.60]I'd never seen before
[01:23.08]It was my Chevrolet's pink slip
[01:26.58]Scratch Evil eye
[01:29.13]"Step on it boy if you want to stay alive" he said
[01:33.96]"Don't look surprised you know what I want
[01:37.07]I've lived for years inside your trunk so drive" he said
[01:42.78]"Let's get talking business son
[01:44.71]--you ain't fooling anyone
[01:46.68]I know just what you want to be
[01:48.58]--now it's time to work for me so drive"
[02:07.00]If this is a nasty dream
[02:10.59]I'd prefer to wake up here
[02:14.36]I believe the point is clear
[02:18.51]Scratch Out of my car
[02:20.30]He said "Ha I've come too far
[02:22.64]Besides I kinda like the velour seatcovers"
[02:25.94]God help me What do I do
[02:27.33]"Shut up boy it's too late for you now drive
[02:33.67]All you phonies get it wrong
[02:35.59]--double lives take half us long
[02:37.45]Should have kept your windows clean
[02:39.49]--now I'm part of this machine
[02:42.90]You've got a good 80 000 miles left
[02:45.95]Before the recall"
[02:49.61]If this is a nasty dream
[02:51.20]I believe the point's quite clear
[02:56.95]I'd prefer to wake up here
[03:12.50]I started humming Amazing Grace
[03:14.46]He said "Come on boy give me a break"
[03:20.18]So I hit the brakes with both my feet
[03:22.25]And sent two horns through the bucket seat
[03:28.11]Then the locks shut up as the grace came down
[03:30.46]I said "Here's the keys
[03:32.87]--I'll be walking back to town"
