It feels good
to go
In one straight line
From A to B
In my automobile
Smooth and fast
In the traffic flow
And the lights go by
And the sky's aglow
I'm not reading any signs
Because I know this road
And the driving's good
And I drive alone
Automobile
Just a turn of the wheel
Down the one-way street
I take a glance in the mirror
And I sit back in the seat
Make a graceful curve
Up to the interchange
Then I glide up to the lights
I'm feeling top of the range
Automobile
Through the traffic lights
Down to the expressway
Along the harbourside
Across the filter lanes
Into Chinatown
Through industrial zones
By the shopping malls
And the high-rise homes
Automobile
There's a beautiful face
Behind the pale green glass
I take a glance in the mirror
Then I drive on past
There's a time of life
When you need to choose
So I glance in the mirror
Then I tune into the news
Automobile
Drive by the fountains
And the restaurants
All the trees are lit
Down the boulevards
Mathematical curves
Symmetrical lines
Made of metal and glass
Ergonomic designs

| "The pleasure
of travelling through a city. Of being able to negotiate with
some style. And of beginning to know who you are. I imagined
it as a sort of retro future TV ad, shot by Fritz Lang or Wim
Wenders." |
