The DC3 - The Car That Ate My Life lyrics

When I was seventeen The high school beauty queen Sideswiped me on my bike in her red 120Y In her laughing slipstream That's when I had my dream I'd show them all and one day drive The car that ate my life I sold my old SG My friends saw less of me Well it now seemed juvenile Besides, I had to study nights My future beckoned me A global company I could almost smell the upholstery In the car that ate my life The car that ate my life The car that ate my life Crawls around my mind at night Making grumbling noises As I toss and turn in fright It's looking for Mylanta In the dawn's ascending light It's eaten everything in sight The car that ate my life Long hours spent, no acknowledgement It's called continuous improvement A mortgage came, the dream it went As life flashed past my eyes A wife trophy, a family All seemed to happen all round me When my kid started primary It caught me by surprise You know you should give it a rest When your toothbrush lives beside your desk Now a lawyer's always there When I talk with my wife I was too smart for management That's how the knock back went My wage it now defines my nine Somewhere this world stopped being mine You know it's funny, I never quite for round to buy.. The car that ate my life
