Motorcycle Drive ByThird Eye Blind

Released: April 8, 1997

Songwriter: Stephan Jenkins

Producer: Eric Valentine Stephan Jenkins

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don't mind, you smile
And say the world doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you, you're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happen

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
And there's this burning
There was this burning

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything but I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is our last time
We'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I, and I I've never been so alive

[Verse 4: Stephan Jenkins]
I go home to the coast
It starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me home

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
And I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
