SPEED movie - Go Outside and Drive lyrics

rate me

Song 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>
