Drift away, just drift away
|
Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
|
They say there’s gonna be a river of blood
|
It’s apocalypse now
|
So we’re waiting for the flood
|
The ice is gonna melt, the water gonna rise
|
And we’ll all go to hell
|
So they’re keeping us advised
|
While the dollar falls down
|
The yen gonna climb
|
It’s a moral decline
|
And I’m losing my mind
|
I think I’ll just drift away
|
To that island of my dreams
|
Live in total fantasy
|
Close my eyes and drift away
|
Back in the real world
|
There’s tension everywhere
|
And the smell of fear
|
Keeps hanging around and polluting the air
|
The man on the news is going over the top
|
Now he’ll say anything so his show don’t flop
|
Wall Street’s down, so what
|
And according to astute market analysis
|
The world’s gonna stop
|
They shout the story to the nation
|
Pass on the panic to the population
|
This is the end of civilization
|
It’s all over now
|
Meanwhile, I just drift away
|
To my island in the sun
|
Imaginary paradise, perfection
|
Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
|
Drift away (drift away)
|
Drift away (drift away)
|
Drift away (drift away)
|
Now all the politicians are running out of hope
|
They’ve burned all their bridges
|
Now they just can’t cope
|
And who do we blame now we’re all going broke?
|
It’s that man over there
|
Who’s hanging from a rope
|
Newsmen winding up the nation
|
A little bad news helps circulation
|
Pass on the panic to the population
|
It’s all over, it’s all over
|
It’s all over now
|
Times like this, I just drift away
|
To my tropical fantasy
|
Living on coconuts growing on the trees
|
Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
|
Drift away, drift away, drift away
|
It’s apocalypse now, drift away
|
Rivers of blood, drift away
|
And the man on the news is going over the top |
