Drift Away |
|
Artist: The Kinks |
|
Drift away, just drift away |
|
Sometimes I wish I could just drift away |
|
Album: Phobia |
|
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 |
|
Sometimes 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) |
