take me for a ride

Sparks

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don t know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes I am a fugitive, but still I m on your side, side
But they ll never ever take me, take this boy alive

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
Why, I wonder, did you stop and offer me a ride
You have got one heavy foot, we re going 95, five
You seem like a girl in need of thrills to stay alive

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don t have to shift to keep the lawman far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don t have to stop, no time

So, take me, take me, take me
take me, take me for a ride, ride
Let s avoid all areas that seem too gentrified
When you re hungry we can stop
I just eat food that s fried, fried
My name s Johnny, what s your name, you seem so dignified

With your Chevy Powerglide
We don t have to stop and hide, so
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don t know a thing about you, but I need a ride

Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura

Roadblock dead ahead
we ve got to crash it drive, girl, drive
They will never, never take this boy alive, alive
Now you re an accomplice
and I m sorry, but that s life, girl
Floor it, floor it, floor it, we ve now hit a hundred five

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don t have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don t have to stop, no time, so

They repeat this ritual each Friday night at 9
He is an accountant and she teaches kids design
Once a week they live a moment that makes them alive
Fighting off the tedium of both their daily lives

Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let s go, let s go Laura

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don t know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I m on your side, ride
But they ll never ever take me, take this boy alive
