Lyrics
0:01At least you know
0:03You were taken by a pro
0:07I know just how you feel
0:13She talked a perfect game
0:17Deflecting all the blame
0:20You took the jack
0:22And changed the flat
0:23And got behind the wheel
0:26Now you're
0:28Driving sideways
0:31Taken in by the scenery
0:35As you're propelled along
0:41And your companion
0:45Will not help you to navigate
0:48For fear she may be wrong
0:55For fear she may be wrong
1:01And you will say
1:04That you're making headway
1:08And put it in overdrive
1:14But you're mistaking speed
1:17For getting much you need
1:21And never even noticing
1:24You never do arrive
1:27'Cause you're
1:29Driving sideways
1:32If you roll down the window you'll see
1:35You're where you don't belong
1:42And your companion
1:45Will not help you to navigate
1:48For fear she may be wrong
1:55For fear she may be wrong
2:00And you're powered by
2:04The hopeful lie
2:08That it's just around the bend
2:14And when this by default
2:17Comes screeching to a halt
2:21Let's hope that you
2:22Know what to do
2:24To start it up again
2:28Driving sideways
2:32Hitting scan on the radio
2:35So she can sing along
2:42And she'll sit
2:45Thinking you're going to handle it
2:48Until she's proven wrong
2:55Until she's proven wrong
3:02Until you prove her wrong
3:08Driving sideways
At least you know You were taken by a pro I know just how you feel She talked a perfect game Deflecting all the blame You took the jack And changed the flat And got behind the wheel Now you're Driving sideways Taken in by the scenery As you're propelled along And your companion Will not help you to navigate For fear she may be wrong For fear she may be wrong And you will say That you're making headway And put it in overdrive But you're mistaking speed For getting much you need And never even noticing You never do arrive 'Cause you're Driving sideways If you roll down the window you'll see You're where you don't belong And your companion Will not help you to navigate For fear she may be wrong For fear she may be wrong And you're powered by The hopeful lie That it's just around the bend And when this by default Comes screeching to a halt Let's hope that you Know what to do To start it up again Driving sideways Hitting scan on the radio So she can sing along And she'll sit Thinking you're going to handle it Until she's proven wrong Until she's proven wrong Until you prove her wrong Driving sideways
