Drift Away Lyrics - Kinks

Drift away, just drift away 

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away 

They say there's gonna be a river of blood 

It's apocalypse now 

So we're waiting for the flood 

The ice is gonna melt, the water gonna rise 

And we'll all go to hell 

So they're keeping us advised 

While the dollar falls down 

The yen gonna climb 

It's a moral decline 

And I'm losing my mind 

I think I'll just drift away 

To that island of my dreams 

Live in total fantasy 

Close my eyes and drift away

Back in the real world 

There's tension everywhere 

And the smell of fear 

Keeps hanging around and polluting the air 

The man on the news is going over the top 

Now he'll say anything so his show don't flop 

Wall Street's down, so what 

And according to astute market analysis 

The world's gonna stop 

they shout the story to the nation 

Pass on the panic to the population 

This is the end of civilization 

It's all over now 

Photos 

Chorus: 

Meanwhile, I just drift away 

To my island in the sun 

Imaginary paradise, perfection 

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away 

Drift away (drift away) 

Drift away (drift away) 

Drift away (drift away) 

Now all the politicians are running out of hope 

They've burned all their bridges 

Now they just can't cope 

And who do we blame now we're all going broke? 

It's that man over there 

Who's hanging from a rope 

Newsmen winding up the nation 

A little bad news helps circulation 

Pass on the panic to the population 

It's all over, it's all over 

It's all over now 

Times like this, I just drift away 

To my tropical fantasy 

Living on coconuts growing on the trees 

Sometimes I wish I could just drift away 

Drift away, drift away, drift away 

It's apocalypse now, drift away 

Rivers of blood, drift away 

And the man on the news is going over the top
