rental car blues

I went from third in my class
to a snake in the grass
waiting on the ribbons to bow
and the sounder the skirt
the more that it hurt
my chances of landing a blow

the latest in calibrators
were the alligator haters
lighting torches just outside the mine
and I sat like a bearskin rug
ready to pull out the plug
if the take out didnt come on time

in Miami I ran into some trouble
when my credit didnt double
for the platinum all american sign
I was meditating on a train
on a platform for the inane
but I was really hung out to vine

sanskrit is the language that I hear
whenever an inquisitive national comes near
passing nails across the chalkboard within
and Im just hoping for the chance
to pull on my departure pants
and make getaway in a long capsule of tin
