Emma's come down
She's stopped the light shining out of her eyes
Emma's been run out on
She's breaking down in so many places
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears of the skidding wheels
(Skid of her wheels she feels)
Skidding wheels
(Skid of her wheels she feels)
Spinning wheels
(Wheel-skidding feeling)
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there (out there)
But she's no control
Come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
(... She's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing)
She's losing that inner flame
It was burning bright but she's losing the fight fast
She's only herself to blame
Well, take care of yourself and remember Georgie
She's so O.D.'d on weeping she can hardly see
That she's dropping beads
(Red, red glass is bleeding)
Dropping beads
(Red, red glass is bleeding)
Dropping beads
(Red, red on the parquet)
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there (out there)
But she's no control
Oh come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
Oh come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
Live version
Emma's come down
She's stopped the light shining out of her eyes
Emma's been run out on
She's breaking down in so many places
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears of the skidding wheels
Skid of her wheels she feels
Skidding wheels
Skid of her wheels she feels
Spinning wheels
Wheel-skidding feeling
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there (out there)
But she's no control
Come on you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
(... She's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing she's losing)
She's losing that inner flame
It was burning bright but she's losing the fight fast
She's only herself to blame
Well take care of yourself and remember Georgie
She's so O.D.'d on weeping she can hardly see
That she's dropping beads
Red red glass is bleeding
Dropping beads
Red red glass is bleeding
Dropping beads
Red red on the parquet
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there (out there)
But she's no control
Come on you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
Come on you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly girl (don't drive too slowly)
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake
