Drive

 

Why did you drive that way?

Crazy hazy rainy day

When the managers pulled up their socks

And the power line fell in electric shocks

Why did you have to drive that way?

 

Why'd you take that turn,

Couldn't you have ever learned

Don't burn your bridges

In the road

Don't live in fridges

Like the cold

How all that I have taught

You've knowed

Why'd you have to drive that way?

 

Why when the petrol killed the sea gull

Why when the oil slick

Lay upon the seal

Why did the chicken cross the road?

And why'd you have to drive that way?

 

Why are the blue moons so far apart?

But when you got in your cart

It was as if the seas did part

And all the little fishes there

Stood still and did not dart

Why'd you have to drive that way?

 

Well perhaps it was your conscience

Or maybe it was your skill

At knowing all the unctuous medicines

Of the ill,

That you thought a doctor could never

be the kill

But the actor he spoke his lines

Like they were a drill

Why'd you have to drive that way?
