Eating Your Car
Upbeat folk rock kicks off with crisp metal guitar riffs, nimble banjo or mandolin interjections, and driving, syncopated drums. Theatrical vocals bounce above animated rhythms, punctuated by comedic sound effects. Bass walks, group claps, bold tempo shifts, and dynamic breaks enliven the flow, while occasional symphonic metal flourishes—striking strings or brass—add bursts of grandeur between rollicking folk grooves.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I sniffed the hood with careful grace,
chrome reflected my thoughtful face;
you locked the door, I chewed the seal,
rubber whispers taste quite real.
The mirror cracked with a modest cry,
I tested paint as you ran by;
you yelled my name, I rang my bell,
this metal pasture treats me well.
Pre-Chorus
Headlights blink twice fast—
they know curiosity
outpaces brakes.
Chorus
Eat-
ing
your
car—
innovation meets hunger
with a crunching handshake.
Yes.
This.
Right now.
Observe.
Transportation tastes better
when unattended.
Verse 2
Door handle yields,
teeth negotiate;
window seal
surrenders quietly.
Alarm protests,
I nod politely;
fear rings loud,
my bell rings louder.
Pre-Chorus
Oil smells like rain—
the driveway learns patience
from my chewing.
Chorus
Eat-
ing
your
car—
not vandalism, really,
just extreme recycling.
Look.
Hear.
That sound.
Correct.
It’s progress being tested
by incisors.
Bridge
I scale the hood with measured cheer,
each bite a note the night can hear;
the gears concede, the bolts appear—
a feast engineered year by year.
Verse 3
You phone a friend, explain the sight,
I chew the trim with mild delight;
the wipers bow, the grill looks thin,
I sample plastic, grin, begin.
The glove box opens—maps and dreams,
I eat the route between your schemes;
no longer lost, I chart the land,
by taste alone I understand.
Pre-Chorus
Keys jingle softly—
they realize authority
has changed mouths.
Chorus
Eat-
ing
your
car—
if it’s parked, it’s consenting
in a goatish sense.
Stay.
Calm.
It’s fine.
Mostly.
Insurance loves a mystery
with witnesses.
Verse 4
Morning arrives,
silence surveys;
only crumbs
and courage missing.
You count damage,
I count flavors;
someone learns
about shared spaces.
Final Chorus
Eat-
ing
your
car—
a lesson in boundaries
drawn too low to climb.
Next.
Time.
Park higher.
Please.
Goats study ergonomics
by doing.
Outro
You asked, “Why here?” I chewed the sign,
rang my bell, called it design;
Steel met teeth, and time stood far—
consider this a review:
five stars…
for eating your car.
