The Man Who Ate His Car

Bishton-Thomas

Desperate Dan was a solitary man, a loner
He had a girl but I guess he'd just outgrown her
It's hard to dig but he made his big decision
Became the man who ate his car - Collision !!
They spread the news to every local station
Come see the guy who swallows cars, - Sensation !!

CHORUS
They said he couldn't digest it, but he just went ahead
And undressed it
Mechanic in a panic, oh what a state
He ate his meal full of steel from a plate
Munched his way into a million hearts as he ate the tyres
And the spare parts
Some guys do anything to be seen, on the screen
What a dream, its obscene
Now it's clear that his career took a wrong turn
The Golden Gate on a dinner date
Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn
He's left the earth in a multi-berth Apollo
Venus and Mars, the rest of the stars to swallow

CHORUS
