We can talk about it in the car;
we can talk about it with the drive
Keep your eyes on the road up ahead,
(don't forget what we said about)
staying alive
If we'd been stuck just a few hours more
I'd have cracked up, I'd say
No you never can tell when it's coming;
it's so hard getting out of the way;
to be sitting targets is surely
no better than running away
Sitting targets in the car
I'll be thinking about it -
not so far, no so far to drive
Ooh, this time we made our getaway,
we'd been stalling for too long
Keep your eyes on the road up ahead
while I try to forget what's been going wrong
(what's been going on)
You'd better check up on the CB,
see what Tail-End Charlie say:-
"Oh you never can tell how it's going,
no you never can see how it's been,
but to stay sitting targets is surely
no better than living a dream"
Sitting targets in the car
I've been thinking it over, it's
not so far, not so far to drive
In the car
We can talk about it in the car,
surely we can talk about it some other time
Keep your eyes on the road up ahead -
I don't seem to be able to use mine
and I'm losing control of my body
and I'm running scared
Oh, we're left with a black-and-white movie,
a positional state of affairs,
an obsessional interest in moving
just to prove that we're there,
sitting targets in the car
I'll be thinking about it, not so far to drive
Sitting targets in the car,
I've been thinking it over, it's
not so far, not so far,
not too far to drive
