Kinks - Drift Away Lyrics
Drift away, just drift awaySometimes I wish I could just drift awayThey say theres gonna be a river of bloodIts apocalypse nowSo were waiting for the floodThe ice is gonna melt, the water gonna riseAnd well all go to hellSo theyre keeping us advisedWhile the dollar falls downThe yen gonna climbIts a moral declineAnd Im losing my mindI think Ill just drift awayTo that island of my dreamsLive in total fantasyClose my eyes and drift awayBack in the real worldTheres tension everywhereAnd the smell of fearKeeps hanging around and polluting the airThe man on the news is going over the topNow hell say anything so his show dont flopWall streets down, so whatAnd according to astute market analysisThe worlds gonna stopThey shout the story to the nationPass on the panic to the populationThis is the end of civilizationIts all over nowChorus:Meanwhile, I just drift awayTo my island in the sunImaginary paradise, perfectionSometimes I wish I could just drift awayDrift away (drift away)Drift away (drift away)Drift away (drift away)Now all the politicians are running out of hopeTheyve burned all their bridgesNow they just cant copeAnd who do we blame now were all going broke?Its that man over thereWhos hanging from a ropeNewsmen winding up the nationA little bad news helps circulationPass on the panic to the populationIts all over, its all overIts all over nowTimes like this, I just drift awayTo my tropical fantasyLiving on coconuts growing on the treesSometimes I wish I could just drift awayDrift away, drift away, drift awayIts apocalypse now, drift awayRivers of blood, drift awayAnd the man on the news is going over the topChorus
