Drift Away Lyrics & Chords By Dana Immanuel

Five whole days and nights of lockjaw will kill desire to speak
People say you shouldn't talk back, for fear of looking weak
But I'm all right, I've got flies in my hair and one head on each shoulder
And in the clothes of a child, no-one can tell form a distance how I'm getting older
And there's a place though my brain's like a sieve where the words like to live
Just in case they want back their freedom or maybe I need them
Am I going too fast? I know you can't muster much more than half-assed
But I trust with your colourful past you learned differentiate 4/4 from 6/8
Six plus seven, 13th heaven, guess that's just my kind of luck
But it all adds up
Let me drift away, don't strain to pray I don't come back
No need, it's guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
Let me drift away, I'll fade to grey and on to black
I need it guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
Stuff you say, it don't make sense or don't come out that way
Say what you mean but keep it clean or there'll be hell to pay
You know the snow that's been obscuring this dumb TV show
Don't know what that's about but I'm tuning out to make it go
Don't stop crying, just stop trying, suddenly you find you're having fun
And then you're done
Let me drift away, don't strain to pray I don't come back
No need, it's guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
Let me drift away, I'll fade to grey and on to black
I need it guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
Let me drift away, don't strain to pray I don't come back
No need, it's guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
Let me drift away, I'll fade to grey and on to black
I need it guaranteed by my hand in a paper sack
