Spin

Let's kick the tires,
When our love expires
And check the oil
In fondness unspoiled.

Marie, Marie,
I hope you'll agree.
Good friends till the end.
Fun times round the bend.

Let's go for a spin.
Can't lose if we win.
Together forever.
C'mon now. Hop in.

Together, alive.
Drive down highway five.
Climbing the grapevine
Until we arrive.

Shiny and ominous.
Let's swallow it whole.
No waiting, let's vamonos
Pour into the bowl.

But hidden inside,
Wrapped up in the trunk,
A furtive flat tire.
A old piece of junk.

What could have been lovely
Along Zuma beach.
Suntans and bubbly
Now roll out of reach.

So I'll just keep cruising
And smile at the sun.
This new life turns over
Where it should have begun.
