Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong, …
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight? ~ "Drive", on Heartbeat City (1984)

    Doing time
    But you still can't turn away
    Well you're looking for a real friend
    Any kind

    Pay no attention to the faulty news

    Stay tuned at any price
    To this side of paradise.
    You're on this side of paradise.
