[Verse 1]
Emma's come down
She's stopped the light
Shining out of her eyes
Emma's been run out on
She's breaking down
In so many places
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears
Of the skidding wheels
The skid of her wheels she feels
Skidding wheels
The skid of her wheels she feels
Skidding wheels
Wheel-skidding feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there
But she's no control

[Chorus]
Come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake

[Verse 2]
She's losing that inner flame
It was burning bright
But she's losing the light fast
She's only herself to blame
Well, take care of yourself
And remember Georgie
But she's so O.D.'d on weeping
She can hardly see
That she's dropping beads
Red, red glass is bleeding
Dropping beads
Red, red glass is bleeding
Dropping beads
Red, red on the parquet

[Pre-Chorus]
Her heart is there
But they've greased the road
Her heart is out there
But she's no control

[Chorus]
Come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly
Don't push your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake

[Chorus]
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go
Don't drive too slowly
Don't push your blues where your shoes should be
Don't push your foot on the heartbrake

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
