Lyrics
0:08Drift away
0:09Drift away just drift away
0:14Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
0:21They say there's gonna be a river of blood
0:24It's apocalypse now
0:27So we're waiting for the flood
0:31The ice is gonna melt the water gonna rise
0:33And we'll all go to hell
0:34So they're keeping us advised
0:35While the dollar falls down
0:38The yen gonna climb
0:39It's a moral decline
0:40And I'm losing my mind
0:41I think I'll just drift away
0:45To that island of my dreams
0:47Live in total fantasy
0:50Close my eyes and drift away
0:54Back in the real world
0:55There's tension everywhere
0:55And the smell of fear
0:59Keeps hanging around and polluting the air
1:00The man on the news is going over the top
1:02Now he'll say anything so his show don't flop
1:06Wall street's down so what
1:08And according to astute market analysis
1:12The world's gonna stop
1:14They shout the story to the nation
1:15Pass on the panic to the population
1:17This is the end of civilization
1:19It's all over now
1:19Meanwhile I just drift away
1:21To my island in the sun
1:22Imaginary paradise perfection
1:23Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
1:33Drift away
1:37Drift away
1:37Drift away
1:38Drift away
1:41Drift away
1:44Drift away
1:51Now all the politicians are running out of hope
1:52They've burned all their bridges
1:53Now they just can't cope
1:54And who do we blame now we're all going broke
1:57It's that man over there
1:58Who's hanging from a rope
2:01Newsmen winding up the nation
2:02A little bad news helps circulation
2:05Pass on the panic to the population
2:08It's all over it's all over
2:09It's all over now
2:11Times like this I just drift away
2:13To my tropical fantasy
2:19Living on coconuts growing on the trees
2:21Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
2:25Drift away drift away drift away
2:27It's apocalypse now drift away
2:31Rivers of blood drift away
2:33And the man on the news is going over the top
2:42Sometimes I just drift away
2:51To my island in the sun
2:54Imaginary paradise perfection
2:56Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
2:58Drift away
2:58Drift away
2:59Drift away
3:00Drift away
3:04Drift away
3:05Drift away
Drift away Drift away just drift away Sometimes I wish I could just drift away They say there's gonna be a river of blood It's apocalypse now So we're waiting for the flood The ice is gonna melt the water gonna rise And we'll all go to hell So they're keeping us advised While the dollar falls down The yen gonna climb It's a moral decline And I'm losing my mind I think I'll just drift away To that island of my dreams Live in total fantasy Close my eyes and drift away Back in the real world There's tension everywhere And the smell of fear Keeps hanging around and polluting the air The man on the news is going over the top Now he'll say anything so his show don't flop Wall street's down so what And according to astute market analysis The world's gonna stop They shout the story to the nation Pass on the panic to the population This is the end of civilization It's all over now Meanwhile I just drift away To my island in the sun Imaginary paradise perfection Sometimes I wish I could just drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Now all the politicians are running out of hope They've burned all their bridges Now they just can't cope And who do we blame now we're all going broke It's that man over there Who's hanging from a rope Newsmen winding up the nation A little bad news helps circulation Pass on the panic to the population It's all over it's all over It's all over now Times like this I just drift away To my tropical fantasy Living on coconuts growing on the trees Sometimes I wish I could just drift away Drift away drift away drift away It's apocalypse now drift away Rivers of blood drift away And the man on the news is going over the top Sometimes I just drift away To my island in the sun Imaginary paradise perfection Sometimes I wish I could just drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away
