Johnny Clegg Ride in Your Car song lyrics

I woke up this morning

I went to the window

Mouth feels like a birdcage

And I'm dying for a cigarette

Look across the skyline

The morning sun is rising

Air is thick and heavy

Like the smell of opportunity

And I feel like a motherless child

I feel like a motherless child

Promises on the table

Empty bottles on the floor

Hoped I'd see your face again

Waiting at my door

I remember how you used to be wild

With your wheels on the road for miles and miles

I want to ride in your car

Cleaning up the kitchen

Before I go to work

Another dollar another day

For some other jerk

Thinking of some other place

Somewhere true

Always planning my escape

From the human Zoo

I remember how you used to be wild

With your wheels on the road for miles and miles

I want to ride in your car
