[Intro] (Slow, driving bassline starts) Mhm... ah... Just keep your hands on the wheel... Just keep your hands on the wheel... [Verse] The leather seats are sticking to my skin I love the trouble that you get us in The engine purrs, a heavy, steady heat We’re leaving shadows on the empty street You look at me, but you don't say a word The sweetest disaster I have ever heard The radio whispers a static tune We're gonna hit the concrete soon I trace a circle on the window pane While you drive us crazy in the pouring rain I put my lipstick on in the mirror Watching the end get a little bit nearer [Pre-Chorus] I could pull the brake, but I just don't care I breathe the smoke you leave inside the air It’s a broken machine, but we play the part I love the way you drive right through my heart I could pull the brake, but I just don't care I breathe the smoke you leave inside the air It’s a broken machine, but we play the part I love the way you drive right through— [Chorus] (Distorted guitars hit) This is a dead-end drive We’re barely making it out alive You push the pedal, I watch the glass A beautiful wreck, we’re fading fast Yeah, I’m letting go of the wheel tonight... Mhm... on this dead-end drive. [Bridge – Breakdown] (Music drops to deep bass throb) Faster. Don't stop. I want to see what happens when we crash. (Ah-ah-ah...) Just keep your hands on the wheel... Faster. Don’t stop. [Chorus – Double] This is a dead-end drive! We’re barely making it out alive You push the pedal, I watch the glass A beautiful wreck, we’re fading fast This is a dead-end drive We’re barely making it out alive Yeah, I’m letting go of the wheel tonight... On this dead-end drive. [Outro] (Fading, breathy sighs) Dead-end drive... Crash into me. Mhm... Just keep your hands on the wheel...
