[Verse 1]

We can talk about it in the car;

We can talk about it with the drive

Keep your eyes on the road up ahead

Don't forget what we said about staying alive

If we'd been stuck there just a few hours more

I'd have cracked up, I'd say

Oh you never can tell when it's coming;

It's so hard getting out of the way;

But to stay sitting targets is surely

No better than running away...

[Chorus]

Sitting targets in the car

I'll be thinking about it

It's not so far, not so far

Not so far to drive

[Verse 2]

Oh this time we made our getaway

We'd been stalling for too long

Keep your eyes on the road up ahead

While I try to forget what's been going wrong

Oh, you'd better check up on the CB

See what Tail-End Charlie say:

"Oh you never can tell how it's going

Oh you never can see how it's been

But to stay sitting targets is surely

No better than living a dream"

[Chorus]

Sitting targets in the car

I've been thinking about it

It's not so far, not so far

Not too far to drive

[Bridge]

In the car....

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

We can talk about it in the car

Surely we can talk about it some other time

Keep your eyes on the road up ahead –

I don't seem to be able to use mine

And I'm losing control of my body

And I'm running scared...

Oh you never can tell when it's coming;

Oh you never can say how it's been

But to stay sitting targets is surely

No better than living a dream

[Chorus]

Sitting targets in the car

I'll be thinking about it

It's not so far to drive

Sitting targets in the car

I've been thinking it over

It's not so far, not so far

Not so far to drive
