Everybody wants to want it
And everybody tries
But take a look at all their riches
My pile is twice the size

So forget the little people waiting in the wings
Cause now is everything

The only survivor is the driver
Look out look out now
The passenger's dead they can't revive her
Look out look out now
Gotta stop pretending that you know better
Cause I know what I need
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed

Once upon a time I wondered
How to leave the ground
I learned you never make it anywhere
If you pussyfoot around

You gotta spit out the sour grapes
You're dying on the vine
And running out of time

The only survivor is the driver
Look out look out now
The passenger's dead they can't revive her
Look out look out now
You gotta stop pretending that you know better
Cause I know what I need
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed

I could give it up
and try to play it down for a while
I'd rather live it up
I'm warning you now
I'm cruising out of town

The only survivor is the driver
Look out look out now
The passenger's dead they can't revive her
Look out look out now
You gotta stop pretending that you know better
Cause I know what I need
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed
