Lyrics
I wanna drive all night
Make it to the desert if I try tonight
Run 'til the bank well runs dry
Follow that purple in the sky
Cause life is overblown
And bones can rise from bones
They'll grow and grow and grow
Once you know that life is overblown
Time just goes so slow
Find me a mountain side
With a natives grave where spirits fly
I'd meditate all night
Watch the purple turn to stars in the sky
Cause life is overblown
And bones can rise from bones
They'll grow and grow and grow
Once you know that life is overblown
Time just goes so slow
I wanna drive all night
I wanna drive all night
I wanna drive all night
I wanna drive all night all night alright all night
Once you know that life is overblown
Time just goes so slow
