Drift away
It's all over, now
Who's hanging from a rope
And we'll all go to hell
Drift away
To that island of my dreams
To my tropical fantasy
Keeps hanging around and polluting the air
Now, all the politicians are running out of hope
Drift away
It's apocalypse, now
And who do we blame now we're all going broke?
So, they're keepin' us advised
While the dollar falls down
There's tension everywhere
Sometimes, I wish I could just drift away
And the man on the news is going over the top
So, we're prefer the flood
And according to astute market analysis
Drift away
It's apocalypse now
Living on coconuts growing on the trees
It's all over, it's all over
I think I'll just drift away
Sometimes, I wish I could just drift away
Drift away
Back in the real world
Pass on the panic to the population
Drift away
The world's gonna stop
Imaginary paradise, perfection
It's a moral decline
Drift away
Live in total fantasy
Times like this, I just drift away
Now, they just can't cope
Pass on the panic to the population
This is the end of civilization
Newsmen winding up the nation
Wall Street's down, so what
Now, he'll say anything so his show don't flop
And the smell of fear
Sometimes I wish I could just drift away
Imaginary paradise, perfection
They shout the story to the nation
And I'm losing my mind
Drift away
Drift away
It's all over now
To my island in the sun
They've burned all their bridges
Close my eyes and drift away
The rivers of blood
The ice is gonna melt, the water gonna rise
Drift away
They say there's gonna be a river of blood
Drift away
Sometimes, I just drift away
It's that man over there
Drift away
To my island in the sun
The yen gonna climb
Meanwhile, I just drift away
A little bad news helps circulation
The man on the news is going over the top
Drift away
