Kinks - Drift Away текст песни

Drift away, just drift away

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away

They say theres gonna be a river of blood

Its apocalypse now

So were waiting for the flood

The ice is gonna melt, the water gonna rise

And well all go to hell

So theyre keeping us advised

While the dollar falls down

The yen gonna climb

Its a moral decline

And Im losing my mind

I think Ill just drift away

To that island of my dreams

Live in total fantasy

Close my eyes and drift away

Back in the real world

Theres tension everywhere

And the smell of fear

Keeps hanging around and polluting the air

The man on the news is going over the top

Now hell say anything so his show dont flop

Wall streets down, so what

And according to astute market analysis

The worlds gonna stop

They shout the story to the nation

Pass on the panic to the population

This is the end of civilization

Its all over now

Chorus:

Meanwhile, I just drift away

To my island in the sun

Imaginary paradise, perfection

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away

Drift away (drift away)

Drift away (drift away)

Drift away (drift away)

Now all the politicians are running out of hope

Theyve burned all their bridges

Now they just cant cope

And who do we blame now were all going broke?

Its that man over there

Whos hanging from a rope

Newsmen winding up the nation

A little bad news helps circulation

Pass on the panic to the population

Its all over, its all over

Its all over now

Times like this, I just drift away

To my tropical fantasy

Living on coconuts growing on the trees

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away

Drift away, drift away, drift away

Its apocalypse now, drift away

Rivers of blood, drift away

And the man on the news is going over the top

Chorus
