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
