Driving Sideways Lyrics - Bachelor No. 2 - Aimee Mann

At least you know 

You were taken by a pro 

I know just how you feel 

She talked a perfect game 

Deflecting all the blame 

You took the jack 

And changed the flat 

And got behind the wheel, 

Now you're 

Driving sideways 

Taken in by the scenery 

As you're propelled along 

And your companion 

Will not help you to navigate 

For fear she may be wrong 

And you will say 

That you're making headway 

And put it in overdrive 

But you're mistaking speed 

For getting what you need 

And never even noticing 

You never do arrive 

'Cause you're 

Driving sideways 

If you roll down the window you'll see 

You're where you don't belong 

And your companion 

Will not help you to navigate 

For fear she may be wrong 

And you're powered by 

The hopeful lie 

That it's just around the bend 

And when this, by default 

Comes screeching to a halt 

Let's hope that you 

Know what to do 

To start it up again 

Driving sideways 

Hitting scan on the radio 

So she can sing along 

And she'll sit 

Thinking you're going to handle it 

Until she's proven wrong 

Until she's proven wrong 

Until you prove her wrong
