Strange
Driver Eight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take hold of the sound, if there's a better way you had better stay close
It makes no sense, i saw something there, something over there
You can have it down
Drive myself to town
You can have it down

It's so beyond me I can say, it's so strange
