City Boy - The Man Who Ate His Car Lyrics

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
