SPEED movie - Go Outside and Drive lyrics
rate meSong by Blues Traveler<br /><br>
I've really got to clean up my room<br>
You know it's been so long since I've seen<br>
my floor<br>
It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect<br>
That when I finally clear away I won't know<br>
her anymore<br>
How we'll have grown so far apart<br>
From those early days with the fresh new<br>
start<br>
So in the end it won't matter at all<br>
So why should I bother with the rise and the<br>
fall<br>
So I quietly lay back down<br>
And watch TV<br>
But these are the things we tell ourselves<br>
Eventual stories designed to amuse<br>
It's a game we play and we play it well<br>
In fact we're so damn good that we try to<br>
lose<br>
So we can keep hiding<br>
So we can survive<br>
And keep on believing<br>
Someday we'll go outside & drive<br>
Gonna go outside & drive...<br>
I have resolved not to leave my house<br>
Till my floor comes back and my room is<br>
clean<br>
So I'm really kind of glad that my TV's here<br>
While I concoct my plan to fulfill my dream<br>
Now won't that be wonderful when I'll<br>
finally be done<br>
You know I just can't wait for it then I'll<br>
start to have fun<br>
It's getting hard lately to concentrate<br>
All my appointments canceled cause I'm<br>
horribly late<br>
You know I think I need a prison<br>
In order to dream of being free<br>
But these are things we tell ourselves<br>
Eventual stories designed to amuse<br>
It's a game we play and we play it well<br>
In fact we're so damn good that we try to<br>
lose<br>
So we can keep hiding<br>
So we can survive<br>
And keep on believing<br>
Someday we'll go outside & drive<br>
Now weeks have gone by and my room's not<br>
done<br>
In fact I could say that it's gotten much<br>
worse<br>
Old Chinese food and ravioli cans<br>
Amongst the crumpled letters the mood's<br>
quite perverse<br>
But I got a new TV with a remote control<br>
Styrofoam and instructions fill the hole<br>
Where I once cleared a path where I once<br>
blazed a trail<br>
To the bathroom, but I fear that a nail<br>
Is buried there now so I step very rarely<br>
And try not to get out of bed<br>
You know tomorrow I'll get up and I'll walk<br>
out my door<br>
And life will return to the way that it was<br>
But I think I'm getting sick I'd better give it<br>
a day<br>
It mustn't get a foothold, but it usually does<br>
So I'll sit right here till I'm old and gray<br>
I need my rest after all I'm wasting away<br>
And I just saw a cockroach crawl out of my<br>
sneaker<br>
I think he's biding his time till I get some-<br>
what weaker<br>
Things could still turn out alright<br>
As long as I'm not dad<br>
As long as I'm ...<br>
I'm...I'm not...<br>
I'm not dead, no I'm not dead<br>
But these are the things we tell ourselves<br>
Eventual stories designed to amuse<br>
It's a game we play and we play it well<br>
In fact we're so damn good that we try to<br>
lose<br>
So we can keep hiding<br>
So we can survive<br>
And keep on believing<br>
Someday we'll go outside & drive<br>
Gonna go outside & drive<br>
What's it like outside<br>
<br>
