Sitting Targets Lyrics

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 just a few hours more

I'd have cracked up, I'd say

No, you never can tell when it's coming

It's so hard getting out of the way

To be sitting targets is surely

No better than running away



Sitting targets in the car

I'll be thinking about it, not so far

Not so far, not so far to drive

Not so far to drive



Ooh, 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

What's been going on



So you better check up on the CB

See what Tail and Charlie say

Oh, you never can tell how it's going

No, you never can see how it's been

But to stay sitting targets is surely
[ Peter Hammill Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

No better than living a dream



Sitting targets in the car

I've been thinking it over

It's not so far to, no so far to

Not so far to drive in the car



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, we're left with a black and white movie

A positional state of affairs

An obsessional interest in moving

Just to prove that we're there



Sitting targets in the car

I'll be thinking about it

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 too far to drive
