Cars & Calories

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Her life was magazines and faithful TV screens Selling an empty dream of cars and calories Everything in between the sun and Saturn's ring The price tag can't be seen [Chorus] And it took bites out of her insides 'Til she was just a hollow shell [Verse 2] Grew up in east L.A., watching celebrities Living out all her dreams The plastic canopy of U.S. royalty Drew her gaze towards the sky, away from her own mind [Chorus] And it took bites out of her insides 'Til she was just a hollow shell [Bridge] And at her home her mother cried 'Cause daddy had something on the side They didn't look up when she sighed Oh [Verse 3] When August came around, bathing suits on the ground Replaced by a cotton cloak To see her own reflection was like squinting in the sun And when all tomorrow brings is a set of broken wings [Chorus] Well, it takes bites out of your insides 'Til you are just a hollow shell And it took bites out of her insides 'Til she was just a hollow shell
