lyrics

Drive me slowly through the city
Where the lights are free-totally
Silver and blue behemoth don't like you
But who cares? Shops are there

Just because it's gone don't let it go
Just because they've stopped the traffic's flow

Drive me quickly to the country
where the fields meet the sea-So lovely
Drown me with your inflatable thing
Cross off the strange flotation toy warning

Just because it's gone don't let it go
Just because you're down don't let it show

Kick me gently with your new horses
That run free in town and country
Unfettered and unhung by their own mortality
They run free

Just because it's gone don't let it show
Just because your down don't let it show

Take me back to 1980 where the kids go free.
