Auto [The Peel Sessions]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here's a sensation I wouldn't trade – Pinpoint in the onrush Dancing to the rhythm of the wiper blades Up ahead on the autobahn Headlights like a lava stream; Up ahead in the distance is where we're going Where we will have been [Chorus] Back in the motor, keep going overnight; We've got no certain destination But for all we know we might So get back in the motor, let's drive it anyplace... Better to travel hopefully Than to arrive, in any case [Verse 2] While you check out the map-book Just like a novel that's all out of joint Our passport into anonymity... Stick a pin into the vanishing point, oh I could drive for hours Don't even need to know the way to go; I could drive forever With some classical music on the radio [Chorus] Back in the motor, back into overdrive And if we travel hopefully then we'll know we're alive Get back in das auto, let's drive it anyplace Better to travel hopefully than to arrive in any case [Bridge] We could drive forever (We could drive) We could drive forever I caught you thinking, I bet you were That we could drive forever In the never-never land of the metaphor [Chorus] Back in the motor, keep going overnight; We've got no key to the highway But for all we know we might as well Get back in the motor, let's drive it anyplace Better to travel hopefully than to arrive in any case So get back in the motor, let's get on with the drive And if we travel hopefully then we know we're alive [Outro] Get back in the motor Let's get back in the motor Get in tune with the motor Get in tune with the motor Get back Get back Get back
