You see them walking in the afternoons
Out in the park taking the air
And you wonder who they're talking to
'Cause there's nobody there

They've seen those movies about happy lives
It all works out in the end
They sit and whisper in the streets at night
With their imaginary friends

Chorus:

And lady you can be my friend
You'll be so glad you're alive
Oh lady if you get lonely
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?

They think they're riding in a cadillac
Driving fast, looking good
They dream of going out and buying a gun
And blowing away the neighbourhood

Chorus:

And lady I've got a fast car
Expecting you to arrive
You know there's nothing to stop us now
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?

Chorus:

I've had a thousand ambitions
But they don't ever survive
Lady you're my last chance now
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?
Why don't you wait for me on heartache drive?
