Demon Driver (Reprise)
. . .


Just because you smile at me and then touch my hand
Drink all my money encourage my dirty plans
I stand rigidly
Oh so attentively
Leering and dribbling
And then so suddenly I see
What's the matter with you

Let me touch you I think you're a wonderful you
What you mean your body is just one part of you?
I stand rigidly
So dejectedly
You talk stupidly
Now you're doing me in
What's the matter with you

You're so ugly I can't even look at your face
Your body's a dream but your mind is a stupid disgrace
I stand droopily
So dejectedly
You talk stupidly
Now you've finished me off
What's the matter with you

. . .


Sitting here with the bottom line
You wanna know what
I'm gonna take my time
It maybe good but it could be bad it…
It drives me mad oh
Sitting here like a lunatic
You wanna know what
Don't make you sick
Yes I may be right I may be wrong
But you can't sing my song

Looking deep in my moody eyes
Feeling good well
I got a big surprise
You're the one that I'm aiming at you
You stupid prat
I'm on the edge of insanity
But wait a minute now
Is it you or me
Lock me up if I've done you wrong
You'll never sing my song

Bluesy blue sea won't you favour me
Bluesy blue sea won't you savour me
I live loosely not too bravely
Bluesy blue sea won't you save me

Gotta dream in December days
I can't reach it but
I'm gonna change my ways
Forget the wind and forget the snow you gotta
Let me go oh
Sitting here like a lunatic
You wanna know what
Don't it make you sick
I may be right and I may be wrong
Wish I could sing your song

. . .


I'm amazed by the fact that you noticed me
And I'm crazed by your simple delicacy
I'm amazed by the shape of your pedigree
I'm amazed by the taste of your filigree
I'm amazed by my lost sensitivity
Gone in days of adventure and piracy
I'm amazed at my own eccentricity
In a haze of electricity

In the gateway
Trapped in the gateway
Look where I'm going
Look where I've come from
Down going round
Screaming no sound
No sky no ground
I'm caught in a trap

I'm amazed by this feeling of ecstasy
In a phraze misaligned so incurably
To the ways of all creatures of fantasy
Loosely based round the fears of reality
I'm amazed by the weakness of gravity
I'm amazed by this binding depravity
Take away all the legends and mystery
You'll be dazed by your history

. . .


Say what you're going to say
I'll never turn you away
But you'll never make me stay
Pray for whatever is real
And if that's how you feel
You've made a better deal

I'll come back when the trees stop growing
I'll stand still when tide stops flowing
I'll look around when there's no fire burning
I will not return

Send love to my lover
Love to my brother
I'm gone long gone
Send love to the old ways
Love to the city haze
I'm gone long gone

Tears in your beautiful eyes
You've got too many fears
But I'm really not surprised

I'll come back when the kids stop playing
I'll stand still when the grass stops swaying
I'll look around when there's no complaining
I will not return

Long gone out of this place
Long gone it's not what you think
Long gone don't want a new face
It's not what you think

. . .


Harder harder you've got to make your point
Harder harder till it hurts in every joint
See what you've done
When you reach for the sun
The pain goes away
Things go your way
If you push hard

Faster faster you've got to win your race
Faster faster you fight for every place
Don't ease up till
The top of the hill
The pain goes away
And life goes your way
If you push fast

What can you do when you stay
In your soft and easy life
When ambition is burning to make a break
What can I do
Lost in a haze
Telling you how
But I'm just in a daze
Wild it's driving me wild
It's driving me wild

. . .


If you see me in my car under control
Look past my eyes
You'll be surprised
Inside this civilized master
There lies a human disaster

You'll see me in the sky keeping control
Avoid my eye
Or you will die
Your lives have been unread
Now you obey the undead

Stand down out of my way
Blue smoke turns you away
I'm trapped here in this tomb
Hell fire here in this womb this earth
I'm the Demon Driver sole survivor

Go to the right go to the left out of my sight
Turn to the east turn to the west turn out your lights

Goodbye mercy happy healthy sunshine heroes
Hello sleepless tortured bodies mental zeroes
Goodbye woman warm as nature laughing living
Hello person colder stranger unforgiving

If you see me in your mind taking control
Release your soul
I'll make you whole
I am the Demon Driver
I am the Demon Driver

Look you millions in line
Eyes up look for a sign
I'm out of this line
Blues smoke leaves you behind
I'm the Demon Driver sole survivor

Close up your hands close up your mouth you've nothing to say
Head for the North head for the South just go away

Goodbye habit boring Sunday Monday slow death
Hello freedom faster freeways clean air sweet breath
Goodbye routine obligation sphincter lotion
Hello mountains trees and deserts sky and ocean

. . .


Somebody knocky on my door nobody answers
Somebody taps on my soul nobody cares
Just as she reaches my heart taking chances
Only to find no-one there

It' just another lie

How can she give when she's just given up knowing
How can I take when I've had more than my share
Just as I weep for her close and glowing
Now I'm alone cold and bare

It' just another lie

Going down going down just to deceive
Coming round around I believe, oh
Lay me down lay me down I can't breathe
I'm living a lie
It's just another lie

. . .


You're so right when you're out of the crowd

Look to your right and you'll
See that the man with the gun
Is still shooting the fool on the run
Turn you around and you'll
Still hear the sound of the feet
That keep marching the length of the street

Look to the West and you'll
Notice the fat men of ease
Are now living on salad and cheese
Look to the East where
Survival is hard on the plains
And all thin men still eat monkey brains

Man you shout so loud you're right of course
But when you're in a crowd you're right off course

Look at the sky where
The spirits of children
And those who are heroes will peacefully glow
Look at the ground where
The mood of frustration
Is sadly displayed in the eyes of a nation

. . .


A boy is born in hardtime Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough just enough for the city

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
You'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough just enough for the city

His sister's black but she is good and pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough just enough for the city

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use coloured people
Living just enough just enough for the city

His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walkin' the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough just enough for the city

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
That motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel nowhere could be much colder
If we won't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city

Living just enough just enough for the city
Living just enough just enough for the city

. . .
