CAMARO

 

They say in a story

A real good story

Someone’s gotta die

For it to be a real good story

Well I think this story

Is a real good story

Cause in this story

I die

3 times

 

The 3 times I died

One was in a car crash

One was playin ping pong

In the open air

One was in a hotel

Not far from here

In fact, tonight

We’re stayin there

 

But really why we’re here

Has to do with a Camaro

Well that’s another story

But actually the same story

And a cold one on a hot day

Makes trouble disappear

 

We got to the Camaro

In this guy’s garage

With dogs that wanted to kill us

The Camaro it was silver

It smelled like high school

Mateo raised the hood

The engine looked good

If I knew anything about engines

We stood around kinda awkward

And then I reached inside

And swung open that door

And got inside

 

And for 3 weeks we flew

Far from the shops and the avenue

Past tumbleweeds where the windy wind it blew

Blastin every opera that we knew…

 

But really why we’re here

Has to do with a Camaro

Well that’s another story

But actually the same story

And a cold one on a hot day

Makes trouble disappear

 

And for 3 weeks we flew

Far from the shops and the avenue

Past tumbleweeds where the windy wind it blew

Blastin every opera that we knew…
