Driving Sideways by Aimee Mann

At least you know
You were taken by a pro
I know just how you feel
She (1)____________ a perfect game
Deflecting all the blame
You took the jack
And (2)______________ the flat
And got behind the wheel
Now you're driving sideways
Taken in by the scenery
As you're propelled along
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong
I fear she may be wrong
And you will say
That you're making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you're mistaking speed
For getting (3)________ you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
Cause you're driving sideways
If you roll down the window you'll see
You're where you don't belong
And (4)________ companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong
I fear she (5)__________ wrong
And you're powered by
The hopeful lie
That it's just (6)____________ the bend
And (7)________ this, by default
Comes screeching to a halt
Let's hope that you know (8)________ to do
To start it up again
Driving sideways
Hitting scan on the radio
So she can sing along
And she'll sit
Thinking you're going to handle it
Until she's (9)____________ wrong
Until she's proven wrong
Until you prove her (wrong)
(Driving sideways)
