Don't leave me alone now
So I don't get hurt
Don't take this the wrong way
I just like watching you work
I thought I'd be over it by now
But boy, was I wrong
Dreaming under the moonlight
As I often do
I looked out the window
And thought about you
I looked to my left
And you were standing right there
It was so cold that night
I didn't care
I haven't been this hung up in a while
Please don't laugh at this song
Get you a woman
Who smells like Salvation Army
If it don't work out
Maybe I'll give her a call
She said "Get in line,"
I guess I'll get my time
With one of a kind
Get you a woman
Who smells like Salvation Army
If it don't work out
Maybe I'll give her a call

"When I was young like you,"
My father said to me
"I was a second rate magician.
I drove a '54 yellow Beetle
With a pinwheel on the antenna.
One day I got tired
Of playing tricks on myself,
And so I came up
With my final illusion:
I took my sorry ass
To the only stoplight in town
As far as I knew
I struck up a match
And lit a cigarette
Something I wouldn't often do
As I went 'round the corner
Felt my hands drift from the wheel
I turned my yellow Beetle
Into an Oldsmobile
I turned my yellow Beetle
Into an Oldsmobile
Man, it's all such a blur
But when I stepped towards the light
I swear I saw, I swear I saw
The only thing that I've ever really loved
As if I've ever really loved
Anything else at all.
I said goodbye to who I thought I knew
Because she just could not be saved
Because she just could not be saved
As I went 'round the corner
Felt my hands drift from the wheel
I turned my yellow Beetle
Into an Oldsmobile
I turned my yellow Beetle
Into an Oldsmobile
I said goodbye to who I thought I knew
Because she just could not be saved
Because she just could not be saved
Short may she be, but long may she wave
Short may she be, but long may she wave"
