Lyrics

[00:03.80] Drift away, just drift away
[00:10.91] Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
[00:30.19] They say there's gonna be a river of blood
[00:37.62] It's apocalypse now
[00:40.36] So we're waiting for the flood
[00:45.54] The ice is gonna melt, the water gonna rise
[00:49.29] And we'll all go to hell
[00:51.16] So they're keeping us advised
[00:52.35] While the dollar falls down
[00:54.91] The yen gonna climb
[00:57.03] It's a moral decline
[00:58.90] And I'm losing my mind
[01:01.64] I think I'll just drift away
[01:05.51] To that island of my dreams
[01:08.63] Live in total fantasy
[01:12.75] Close my eyes and drift away
[01:16.74] Back in the real world
[01:19.49] There's tension everywhere
[01:20.23] And the smell of fear
[01:27.10] Keeps hanging around and polluting the air
[01:31.91] The man on the news is going over the top
[01:35.66] Now he'll say anything so his show don't flop
[01:39.71] Wall Street's down, so what
[01:42.33] And according to astute market analysis
[01:45.57] The world's gonna stop
[01:47.32] they shout the story to the nation
[01:51.38] Pass on the panic to the population
[01:55.37] This is the end of civilization
[01:59.05] It's all over now
[02:07.61] Meanwhile, I just drift away
[02:11.34] To my island in the sun
[02:14.53] Imaginary paradise, perfection
[02:18.40] Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
[02:22.70] Drift away
[02:26.07] Drift away
[02:29.94] Drift away
[02:34.00] Now all the politicians are running out of hope
[02:41.55] They've burned all their bridges
[02:43.23] Now they just can't cope
[02:45.42] And who do we blame now we're all going broke?
[02:49.16] It's that man over there
[02:50.72] Who's hanging from a rope
[02:53.40] Newsmen winding up the nation
[02:56.96] A little bad news helps circulation
[03:01.08] Pass on the panic to the population
[03:03.51] It's all over, it's all over
[03:12.56] It's all over now
[03:20.74] Times like this, I just drift away
[03:24.73] To my tropical fantasy
[03:28.35] Living on coconuts growing on the trees
[03:33.90] Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
[03:37.85] Drift away, drift away, drift away
[03:52.88] It's apocalypse now, drift away
[03:57.01] Rivers of blood, drift away
[04:00.75] And the man on the news is going over the top
[04:04.68] Sometimes I just drift away
[04:12.98] To my island in the sun
[04:16.41] Imaginary paradise, perfection
[04:18.53] Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
[04:24.15] Drift away
[04:27.71] Drift away
[04:31.64] Drift away
