Early classics like “Chelsea Girl” and “Drive Blind,” both on Ride, date back to the very first time the group ever jammed together in the garage at Colbert’s house, the latter tune coming about when they tried to cover “How Soon is Now” and ended up writing an original instead.

[Verse 1]
Can't see the lights or the blue orange signs
Can't see the roads or the long white lines
Feeling the ground through the pedals on the floor
Feeling death pounding at the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
Windows all open, chaos in my hair
Driving me 'round and leaving me there
Cover my eyes and we'll die driving blind
Cover my trail and we'll leave this life behind
[Chorus]
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
[Bridge]
All at once, too much light
Captured and frozen, hear no sound
Bright flashes penetrate
Glowing, flowing, lifting off the ground
[Verse 3]
Can't see the lights or the blue orange signs
Can't see the roads or the long white lines
Cover my eyes and we'll die driving blind
Cover my trail and we'll leave this life behind
[Chorus]
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
Oh, drive blind
