Caroline Polachek
Getaway Ride
[Verse 1]
Pass the screwdriver (Cha-cha-cha)
Here's a key to the courtyard
By the cemetery (Cha-cha-cha)
When the world is watching
I'll take the easy way out
To wait until your signal
While you burn the place down
[Chorus]
I'll pick you up from where you hide
In uniform with tie untied
No talking, baby, just the slamming of the doors
Of our getaway ride
[Verse 2]
So what (What now)
Of (This new)
Desire (Cha-cha-cha)
I'm a thief (Blind thief)
In the schoolyard (Baby)
Or just wanting to be (Cha-cha-cha)
Breaking single file
Tell me you want to escape
Down the road to nowhere
To watch my heart break
[Chorus]
I'll pick you up from where you hide
In uniform with tie untied
No talking, baby, just the slamming of the doors
Of our getaway ride
[Post-Chorus]
So what?
And so what?
[Bridge]
Ride! We can make it
Oh, I've all but lost my mind
Take the rest of me, take it all
You're my destiny, oooh
Baby, don't be ashamed
[Outro]
Ride...
Ride...
