Sitting Targets

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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... [Chorus] Sitting targets in the car I'll be thinking about it – Not so far to, not so far to Not so far to drive Not so far to drive [Verse 2] Ooh, this time we made our getaway We'd been stalling for too long Keep your eyes on the road up ahead (Oh yeah) While I try to forget what's been going wrong What's been going on... Oh, you'd better check up on the CB (Oh, 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" [Chorus] Sitting targets in the car I've been thinking it over It's not so far to, not so far to Not so far to drive In the car... [Break] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] We can talk about it in the car Surely we can talk about it some other time Oh, 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 [Chorus] 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
