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