Back on the motorway

By:

Metronomy

from album

Nights Out

Print without graphics

I went and messed around with her heart
So now she's run off with my car
But I can't live without her
And it's so hard to take
So I've set out to find her
I'm back on the motorway

At this wheel I drive the earth for her
Every carriageway, a mile for her
These five gears and wheels could drive to her
But this carriageway can't take me there

Driving at 90 miles per hour
It's hard to know what's coming
Then on the horizon

Something makes me brake
I can see my darling
Ahead on the motorway

I can see us lying on the bonnet of a Chevrolet
So why's my baby lying at the side of the motorway?
I wish that I had never said the things that I told her today
Cause now she's left me crying
On the shoulder of the motorway

At this wheel I drive the earth for her
Every carriageway, a mile for her
These five gears and wheels could drive to her
But this carriageway can't take me there
