cars and calories

...And so starts a series of songs! Some arbitrary, some meaningful! Some with people specific people in mind, and some with (uhhhh..) not! mp3 links provided when available.. enjoy music!

Cars and Calories by Saves the Day, mp3 under "Stay What You Are" CD label.. listen!

Her life was magazines

And faithful TV screens

Selling an empty dream

Of cars and calories

Everything in between

The sun and Saturn's ring

The price tag can't be seen

And it took bites

Out of her insides

Till she was just a hollow shell.

She grew up in east LA

Watching celebrities

Living out all of her dreams

The plastic canopy

Of US royalty

Drew her gaze towards the sky

Away from her own mind

And it took bites

Out of her insides

Till she was just a hollow shell

And at home her mother cried

Cause daddy had something on the side

They didn't look up when she sighed

When August came around

Bathing suits on the ground

Replaced by a cotton cloak

To see her own reflection

Was like squinting in the sun

And when all tomorrow brings

Is a set of broken wings

It takes bites

Out of your insides

Till you are just a hollow shell

...What else should I say? One of you knows, my bathroom wall is SO WEIRD. It's... blank! I don't know how this happened. I plan to investigate, yes. Say cheese, your hip. This place is weird. Maze sounds good. Must have human contact, but I like you because you are knot human. I am tangled. We plan on doing something about that, I imagine. Whatev. Here I am, there it is. goodbyeness.
