The Beetle and the Gnome

The Beetle and the Gnome written in 1999 for Keystone Garden

 

You say your car is you

You see yourself in the shiny metal

You feel yourself behind the wheel

You know your car is you

You and your fake blue beetle

How sweet is the irony

How ironic is the truth

Just as fake as your car

 

Get in your fake blue beetle

And get out of our lives

Start up your fake blue beetle

And stop coming around here

 

You seemed so different

Until I saw the real you

Just like your car

There is nothing behind you

Just like your car

Your as real as a unicorn

And as common as the flue

I wish I only imagined you

 

Get in your fake blue beetle

And get out of our lives

Start up your fake blue beetle

And stop coming around here
