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
