[Intro]
This car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
[Verse 1]
And you could force it but it doesn't want to move an inch
You can't buy its loyalty this time
You can tempt it with a pocket full of shiny things
Though there's no room left in paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong this time
I'm not looking for a spark in the heart of the lights (the lights)
[Chorus]
This car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
[Verse 2]
You can track the years behind you, you can let them go
Though she'll laugh at you behind your back
There's no water here, there's just a wide open road
And it leads you up the garden path
[Pre-Chorus]
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong this time
I'm not looking for a spark in the heart of the lights (the lights)
[Chorus]
This car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I see a tunnel at the end of the light
And it's killing me slowly with its tune
I'm always a mess come the end of the night
Oh but we keep, keep dancing though we're outta time
Oh hold on, baby baby, yeah, it's alright 'cause
[Chorus]
This car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong
And the kids aren't wrong this time
(And this car drives all by itself)
[Outro]
I see the tunnel at the end of the light
This car drives all by itself
And this car drives all by itself

What did The Wombats say about "This Car Drives All By Itself"?
“This Car Drives All By Itself” is kind of a metaphor for “maybe we’re not as in control of our lives as we think we are” and time and entropy are pretty fucking powerful things. It all came together and I’m so proud of that song.

What have the artists said about the song?
Someone said to me, ‘We row, but the universe steers’. And that is kind of a theme throughout the album. But I was searching for a slightly more fun, contemporary way of saying that phrase. I was walking my dogs and I turned around and there was this electric car, and I couldn’t see anyone in the dr...
