Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel - Mostly We Drive

Sitting in the front seat in the twilight zone

Riding down the highway to the next milestone 

The tarmac shimmers in the midday sun

Is this the way to glory or should I turn and run

A snake of red lights as far as I can see

Like flying rubies on the Sea of Galilee 

Trapped in the traffic in this old tin can

Just like a wasp I'm stuck in the jam



One day we die, the rest we’re alive 

Some days we walk, mostly we drive 



Driving in this heat I can't concentrate

Let me off the road before I dehydrate

Look at all the people safe in their cars

Are they from here they look like fighters from Mars

Now there’s a blue light flashing right on my tail

Twisting and turning like a killer whale 

When I pull over to the side of the road 

Will they want my driver’s license or my genetic code 

One day we die, the rest we’re alive 

Some days we walk, mostly we drive 

White diamonds come rolling, towards me in pairs

I hold the wheel and I say my prayers 

Speeding down the freeway, the one they call life 

Gliding in the fast lane then we skid on black ice 

One day we die, the rest we’re alive 

Some days we walk, mostly we drive 

One day we die, the rest we’re alive 

Some days we walk, mostly we drive
