Ride in Your Car Songtext

von Johnny Clegg

I woke up this morning
I went to the window
Mouth feels like a birdcage
And I'm dying for a cigarette

Look across the skyline
The morning sun is rising
Air is thick and heavy
Like the smell of opportunity

And I feel like a motherless child
I feel like a motherless child

Promises on the table
Empty bottles on the floor
Hoped I'd see your face again
Waiting at my door

I remember how you used to be wild
With your wheels on the road for miles and miles

I want to ride in your car

Cleaning up the kitchen
Before I go to work
Another dollar another day
For some other jerk

Thinking of some other place
Somewhere true
Always planning my escape
From the human Zoo

I remember how you used to be wild
With your wheels on the road for miles and miles

I want to ride in your car
