Blues Traveler - Go Outside Drive Lyrics
Music & lyrics: john popperI ve really got to clean up my roomYou know its been so long since Ive seen my floorIts getting kind of scary in fact I suspectThat when I finally clear away I wont know her anymoreHow well have grown so far apartFrom those early days with the fresh new startSo in the end it wont matter at allSo why should I bother with the rise and the fallSo I quietly lay back downAnd watch tvBut these are the things we tell ourselvesEventual stories designed to amuseIts a game we play and we play it wellIn fact were so damn good that we try to loseSo we can keep hidingSo we can surviveAnd keep on believingSomeday well go outside & driveGonna go outside & drive...I have resolved not to leave my houseTill my floor comes back and my room is cleanSo Im really kind of glad that my tvs hereWhile I concoct my plan to fulfill my dreamNow wont that be wonderful when Ill finally be doneYou know I just cant wait for it then Ill start to have funIts getting hard lately to concentrateAll my appointments cancelled cause Im horribly lateYou know I think I need a prisonIn order to dream of being freeBut these are the things we tell ourselvesEventual stories designed to amuseIts a game we play and we play it wellIn fact were so damn good that we try to loseSo we can keep hidingSo we can surviveAnd keep on believingSomeday well go outside & driveGonna go outside & drive...Now weeks have gone by and my rooms not doneIn fact I could say that its gotten much worseAmongst the crumpled letters the moods quite perverseBut I got a new tv with a remote controlStyrofoam and instructions fill the holeWhere I once cleared a path where I once blazed a trailTo the bathroom, but I fear that a nailIs buried there no so I step very rarelyAnd try not to get out of bedYou know tomorrow Ill get up and Ill walk out my doorAnd life will return to the way that it wasBut I think Im getting sick Id better give it a dayIt mustnt get a foothold, but it usually doesSo Ill sit right here till Im old and grayI need my rest after all Im wasting awayAnd I just saw a *****roach crawl out of my sneakerI think hes biding his time till I get somewhat weakerThings could still turn out alrightAs long as Im not deadAs long as im...Im...Im not...Im not dead, no Im not deadBut these are the things we tell ourselvesEventual stories designed to amuseIts a game we play and we play it wellIn fact were so damn good that we try to loseSo we can keep hidingSo we can surviveAnd keep on believingSomeday well go outside & driveGonna go outside & driveWhats it like outside
