lyrics
Out on the road I was hauling a load
of melons from Barstow to Banff.
I parked my rig and went in for a swig
bellied my way to the bar,
The man tending there, knots in his hair
dreadlocks woven with pain,
I said “hey pal, why so sad?”
He turned to me and said...
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft,
women larger than life,
twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction,
the one in the bedroom,
the one in the kitchen
but now she’s left me here with a
spacesuit on and this bottle of beer
and a one way ticket to the moon,
Outside Van Nuys I popped in for some fries
at the last of the Jack in the Box,
I talked to the clown, stepped up to the counter
paid my buck at the register,
the girl working there, acne and short hair a ring through the tip of her nose,
I said “Hey girl, it can’t be that bad!” she flipped me off and said...
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft women,
larger than life, twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction
the one in the bedroom, the one in the kitchen
but now she’s left me here,
in these hiking boots and scuba gear
with a one way ticket to the bottom of the sea,
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft women,
larger than life, twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction,
the one in the bedroom, the one in the kitchen
now she’s left me here, with 18 wheels in second gear,
and a one way ticket down that highway to Hell...
of melons from Barstow to Banff.
I parked my rig and went in for a swig
bellied my way to the bar,
The man tending there, knots in his hair
dreadlocks woven with pain,
I said “hey pal, why so sad?”
He turned to me and said...
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft,
women larger than life,
twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction,
the one in the bedroom,
the one in the kitchen
but now she’s left me here with a
spacesuit on and this bottle of beer
and a one way ticket to the moon,
Outside Van Nuys I popped in for some fries
at the last of the Jack in the Box,
I talked to the clown, stepped up to the counter
paid my buck at the register,
the girl working there, acne and short hair a ring through the tip of her nose,
I said “Hey girl, it can’t be that bad!” she flipped me off and said...
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft women,
larger than life, twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction
the one in the bedroom, the one in the kitchen
but now she’s left me here,
in these hiking boots and scuba gear
with a one way ticket to the bottom of the sea,
When girls collide they’re like 50 ft women,
larger than life, twice as dangerous,
you’ve got the choice between science and fiction,
the one in the bedroom, the one in the kitchen
now she’s left me here, with 18 wheels in second gear,
and a one way ticket down that highway to Hell...
