We took your daddy's car

And drove it to the sea

We fooled around for hours

And then when we got tired and it got dark

We found a place to park

And we watched the sun set fire to the sea



Can you feel the sadness in our love?

It's the only kind we're worthy of

Can you feel the madness in our hearts

As the key turns and the engine starts?



We took your daddy's car







And drove it into town

We steamed into a bar

And we bought the biggest bottle of champagne

And driving through the rain we sang

'god bless this car and all who sail in her!'



We took your daddy's car

And wrapped it round a tree

We didn't know what for

We didn't feel like driving any more

We are driving from the day we are born
