Lyrics

Driving Lesson

[Intro] Car, car, car Car, car, car [Verse 1] Let's get behind the wheel We'll go driving To the mountains To the rooftops We can take it nice and slow I'll be driving To the icebergs To the edges [Chorus] Car, get in the car Car, get in the car [Verse 2] Head in to the clouds Past the buildings By the harbour Through the storm Tear across the page By the marker Leave the light on By the poolside [Chorus] Car, get in the car Car, get in the car [Bridge] I can make an honest man of you I can make you clean if you want me to I can make you go very far [Chorus] Just take the car Get in the car Car, get in the car [Outro] Take the car Get in that car Take the car Get in that car Take the car [Whispered lyrics] Gotta feel to make it real Anytime, anywhere
