Yeah, why don′t you drive me
Down that rough and twisted road?
Why don't you guide me?
′Cause I don't know which way to go
Promise to take me
Yeah, to where the water glows
Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico
Where the tide just ebbs and flows
(Ooh) flash me all your jewelry
(Ooh-ooh) poetry and friends
(Ooh) promise me a dance like Nijinsky
(Ooh-ooh) nothing, nothing, nothing but a false pretense (ooh)
Yeah, all you feed me was just rancid rice and bones
All I drank was muddy water, as lonely as a saxophone
Why don't you take me to where I wanna go?
To Natchez, Mississippi, Sicily and Rome
(Ooh) you just took me to a flyblown town
(Ooh-ooh) in the back of nowhere
(Ooh) the smell was acrid and toxic
(Ooh-ooh) you breathe the air
(Ooh) the only club was called Conspiracy
(Ooh-ooh) they didn′t like me much
(Ooh) what they wanted was tyranny
(Ooh-ooh) and all that crazy, crazy, fucked-up stuff (ooh)
Why don′t you drive me?
Take me where you wanna go
Yeah, why don't you take me
Down this rough and twisted road?
Yes, why don′t you teach me
Teach me all those foreign tongues?
Yeah, why don't you take me?
′Cause I'm deaf and blind and dumb
Yeah, drive me
Yeah, drive me
Where I wanna go
Drive me
Take me where I wanna
Take me where I wanna
Take me where I wanna go
