[Intro]
(Slow, driving bassline starts)
Mhm... ah...
Just keep your hands on the wheel...
Just keep your hands on the wheel...

[Verse]
The leather seats are sticking to my skin
I love the trouble that you get us in
The engine purrs, a heavy, steady heat
We’re leaving shadows on the empty street
You look at me, but you don't say a word
The sweetest disaster I have ever heard

The radio whispers a static tune
We're gonna hit the concrete soon
I trace a circle on the window pane
While you drive us crazy in the pouring rain
I put my lipstick on in the mirror
Watching the end get a little bit nearer

[Pre-Chorus]
I could pull the brake, but I just don't care
I breathe the smoke you leave inside the air
It’s a broken machine, but we play the part
I love the way you drive right through my heart

I could pull the brake, but I just don't care
I breathe the smoke you leave inside the air
It’s a broken machine, but we play the part
I love the way you drive right through—

[Chorus]
(Distorted guitars hit)
This is a dead-end drive
We’re barely making it out alive
You push the pedal, I watch the glass
A beautiful wreck, we’re fading fast
Yeah, I’m letting go of the wheel tonight...
Mhm... on this dead-end drive.

[Bridge – Breakdown]
(Music drops to deep bass throb)
Faster.
Don't stop.
I want to see what happens when we crash.
(Ah-ah-ah...)
Just keep your hands on the wheel...
Faster.
Don’t stop.

[Chorus – Double]
This is a dead-end drive!
We’re barely making it out alive
You push the pedal, I watch the glass
A beautiful wreck, we’re fading fast

This is a dead-end drive
We’re barely making it out alive
Yeah, I’m letting go of the wheel tonight...
On this dead-end drive.

[Outro]
(Fading, breathy sighs)
Dead-end drive...
Crash into me.
Mhm...
Just keep your hands on the wheel...
