about

First released on the EP 'My Life Was Ruined by The Wind-Up Birds', summer 2004

lyrics

They’ve surrounded the bus stop with diamond shards
‘Cause the jokes are not funny on the greeting cards
There’s a burning plastic mound on every corner
Just like the street signs they are here to warn you

Stay close to the driver
He’s got what you need
Stay close to the driver
Satisfaction guaranteed
Stay close to the driver
Take a book to read
Stay close to the driver
‘Cause he will not impede you

He doesn’t understand half the words he uses
It kind of explains the comrades he chooses
He’s spent too much time falling on his bruises
It kind of explains the sincerity he oozes

Stay close to the driver
He’s got what you need
Stay close to the driver
Satisfaction guaranteed
Stay close to the driver
Take a book to read
Stay close to the driver
‘Cause he will not impede you

And when you’re on your own tonight
On your own tonight

Stay close to the driver
He’s got what you need
Stay close to the driver
Satisfaction guaranteed
Stay close to the driver
Take a book to read
Stay close to the driver
‘Cause he will not impede you
