White Corolla - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

your little white car looks like a rental

and it’s stalled at the sav-on coz the starter’s temperamental

call your boyfriend it goes to voice mail

leave a message baby get me please

wait at the laundromat read a magazine

tear out the page with the picture of some shoes

you get impatient go to a cafe

see a girl from your high school but you look away

you take your coffee black the way your mother would

one packet sweet n low one packet sugar

your boyfriend texts you he’s sorry that he’s late

he didn’t hear the ring he’s on his way

you take your cough drops you call them hoarse pills

but they won’t help anything if you keep smoking

go to a movie go to the rodeo

ride the train with the vagrants and watch the buildings fall away
