Lyrics

In the Backseat

I like the peace In the backseat I don't have to drive I don't have to speak I can watch the countryside And I can fall asleep My family tree's Losing all it's leaves Crashing towards the driver's seat The lightning bolt made enough heat To melt the street beneath your feet Alice died In the night I've been learning to drive My whole life I've been learning I like the peace In the backseat I don't have to drive I don't have to speak I can watch the countryside Alice died In the night I've been learning to drive My whole life I've been learning how Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
