Chemical Car

(album: Underneath The Roses - 2023)

Chemical car, chemical car
Growing up's a drag in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
Throwing up white flags in the chemical car
Her perfume smell makes me wanna gag
Her eyeliner runs when she pukes in that bag
In the chemical car

The whole ride home she'd talk shit about my dad
Then we'd pull into the driveway and she'd say he's not that bad
At dinner while he was speaking to me
Behind his back she'd make faces only I could see in the

Chemical car, chemical car
Growing up's a drag in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
Throwing up in bags in the chemical car
There's something wrong with her
I don't know what I did to deserve
This chemical car

She said if not for me she'd kill herself
She never one time asked me how I felt
Coming home to check if she'd done it yet
Would it be pills, a gun, or a rope around her neck in the

Chemical car, chemical car
Growing up's a drag in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
You're it this is tag in the chemical car
Can't anybody see me here
Scared out of my wits in the rearview mirror
Of the chemical car

There's an abyss inside this duplex
A life like this hangs by a shoestring
There's an abyss inside this duplex
Those other kids don't know the first thing
They've never been trapped like this
Face to face with such meaninglessness
In the chemical car

I'd come home and my friends would be there
Laughing in the kitchen with her permed out hair
Nightgown open putting on a show
She'd say oh hey how'd your day at school go

In the chemical car, chemical car
Growing up's a drag in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
Throwing up white flags in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
S.O.S. distress in the chemical car
Chemical car, chemical car
Such an effing mess in the chemical car
Somewhere baby
Out there maybe there's no chemical car
