driver 8 - live from rock city, nottingham / 1984 - r.e.m. lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the walls were built up
stone by stone
the fields divided one by one

[bridge]
and the train conductor says
“take a break, driver 8
driver 8, take a break
you’ve been on this shift too long”
[chorus]
and the train conductor says
“take a break, driver 8
driver 8, take a break
we can reach our destination”
still a ways away

[verse 2]
i saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the barn
power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged
bells are ringing through the town again
children look up, all they hear is sky*blue bells ringing

[chorus]
and the train conductor says
“take a break, driver 8
driver 8, take a break
we can reach our destination”
still a ways away (but it’s still a ways away)
but it’s still a ways away (but it’s still a ways away)

[solo]
a way to shield away the heat
a way to put myself to sleep
a way to shield away the hated heat
a way to put myself, my children to sleep
[verse 3]
piloted this song in a plane like that one
she’s selling faith on the go tell crusade
locomotive 8, southern crescent, hear the bells ring again
the fields to weed is looking thin

[chorus]
and the train conductor says
“take a break, driver 8
driver 8, take a break
we’ve been on this shift too long”

and the train conductor says
“take a break, driver 8
driver 8, take a break
we can reach our destination”
still a ways away
but it’s still a ways away (but it’s still a ways away)
