She Has Funny Cars

Every day I try so hard to know your mind

And find out what's inside you

Time goes on and I don't know just who you are

Or how I'm going to find you

You can do whatever you please

The world's waiting to be seized

You can collect all neglect

Or all the self-respect you need, what you need

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed

It's all you'll ever need

So what do you want with me?

We live but once

But good things can be found around

In spite of all the sorrow

If you see black

You can't look back

You can't look front

You cannot face tomorrow

Some have it nice

Fat and round, flash, paradise

They're very wise to their disguise

Trying to revolutionize tomorrow

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed

It's all you'll ever need

Jeferson Airplaine, Surrealistic Pillow (1967)

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She doesn't like to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

The Cars, Candy O (1979)
