Lyrics
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I wanna ticket to anywhere
– Ngifuna ithikithi noma kuphi
Maybe we can make a deal
– Mhlawumbe singenza isivumelwano
Maybe together we can get somewhere
– Mhlawumbe ndawonye singafika kwenye indawo
Any place is better
– Noma iyiphi indawo ingcono
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
– Kusukela ku-zero, akukho lutho olungalahleka
Maybe we’ll make something
– Mhlawumbe sizokwenza okuthile
Me, myself, I’ve got nothing to prove
– Mina ngokwami, anginalutho engingalufakazela
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I’ve got a plan to get us out of here
– Nginecebo lokusikhipha lapha
Been working at the convenience store
– Ubesebenza esitolo sokudla
Managed to save just a little bit of money
– Wakwazi ukonga imali encane nje
Won’t have to drive too far
– Ngeke kudingeke ukuba ushayele kude kakhulu
Just cross the border and into the city
– Vele uwele umngcele ungene edolobheni
You and I can both get jobs
– Mina nawe singathola imisebenzi
Finally see what it means to be living
– Ekugcineni bona ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuphila
See my old man’s got a problem
– Bheka indoda yami endala inenkinga
Live with the bottle, that’s the way it is
– Phila ngebhodlela, yilokho okuyikho
He says his body’s too old for working
– Uthi umzimba wakhe usumdala kakhulu ukuba ungasebenza
His body’s too young, to look like his
– Umzimba wakhe usemncane kakhulu, ukuba ubukeke njengowakhe
When mama went off and left him
– Lapho umama ehamba futhi wamshiya
She wanted more from life than he could give
– Wayefuna okungaphezu kwalokho ayengakunikeza ekuphileni
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
– Ngathi othile kumelwe amnakekele
So I quit school and that’s what I did
– Ngakho ngayeka isikole futhi yilokho engakwenza
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
– Ingabe kuyashesha ngokwanele ukuba sikwazi ukundiza?
We gotta make a decision
– Kumelwe senze isinqumo
Leave tonight or live and die this way
– Shiya namuhla ebusuku noma uphile futhi ufe ngale ndlela
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Futhi khumbula lapho sasishayela, ukushayela emotweni yakho
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Ijubane ngokushesha kangangokuthi ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
We go cruising entertain ourselves
– Siyahamba siyazijabulisa
You still ain’t got a job
– Awusenawo umsebenzi
Now I work in the market as a checkout girl
– Manje ngisebenza emakethe njengoba intombazane checkout
I know things will get better
– Ngiyazi ukuthi izinto zizoba ngcono
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
– Uzothola umsebenzi futhi ngizothuthukiswa
We’ll move out of the shelter
– Sizosuka endaweni yokukhosela
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
– Thenga indlu enkulu futhi uhlale emaphethelweni edolobha
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Futhi khumbula lapho sasishayela, ukushayela emotweni yakho
Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Ijubane ngokushesha kangangokuthi ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I’ve got a job that pays all our bills
– Nginomsebenzi okhokhela zonke izikweletu zethu
Stay out drinking late at the bar
– Ay uphuze sekwephuzile endaweni yokudlela
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
– Bona abangane bakho ngaphezu kwakho izingane zakho
I’d always hoped for better
– Ngangilokhu ngithemba okungcono
Thought maybe together you and me’d find it
– Ngacabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe wena nami singakuthola ndawonye
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
– Anginazo izinhlelo, angiyi ndawo
So take your fast car and keep on driving
– Ngakho thatha imoto yakho fast futhi uqhubeke ukushayela
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Futhi khumbula lapho sasishayela, ukushayela emotweni yakho
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Ijubane ngokushesha kangangokuthi ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You’ve got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
– Ingabe fast ngokwanele ukuze ukwazi ukundiza away?
You gotta make a decision
– Kumelwe wenze isinqumo
Leave tonight or live and die this way
– Shiya namuhla ebusuku noma uphile futhi ufe ngale ndlela
Live and die this way
– Phila futhi ufe ngale ndlela
Live and die this way
– Phila futhi ufe ngale ndlela
Live and die this way
– Phila futhi ufe ngale ndlela
Merci
– Umerci
