5 CHINESE BROTHERS - The Real Fast Car lyrics

rate me

Tom meltzer<br><br>I wish I had me a turbo-engine rocket-fuel jet car<br>Don't know where I'd go but I sure know that I'd go far<br>Head a million miles from here, find myself a new home<br>What if that place turns out to be the same as the place from which I came? <br>What if I've got it good here and I don't even know? <br>What if that's why I'm still here when I really want to go? <br><br>I want to get away, I want to stay<br>I want to be free, I want you to build your world around me<br>I wish I could understand the meaning of my dreams<br><br>I wish I could write a song as good as visions of johanna<br>When I do will the heavens open and the angels sing hosanna? <br>I mean, how will I know I've done it? how will I realize? <br>When I sing it will a vision of you dance before my eyes? <br>And having something like that I'd have to try to top<br>Might be even worse than never having not no!<br>I wish I could hear what I'm saying now and smile<br>All the same, I haven't finished a song in a long, long while<br><br>Chorus<br><br>I dreamed the world was crumbling all around me<br>There in the rubble on the ground you found me<br>And I pull you tight I want to hold you close<br>At the same time I can't stay, I've got to go<br>And there's that car but it's all out of gas<br>I can tell by the speedometer it's the kind that goes real fast<br>I could be someone, be someone, you know I surely could<br>If I could stand on the rock where moses stood<br><br>Chorus twice
