"Purple Toyota" lyrics

"Purple Toyota"

Saw this purple new Toyota
Automakers these days go for
Cars that look like rainy weather
Hardly ever bright ones, never, no

Now you got your charcoal
And silver
And rust tones
And white
Dull metallic lead, some
Maybe brown instead ,some
Understated red, some
Unexciting sight

If you'd like a real-life
Something you can feel like
Find a better deal life
Keep on switching lanes
Somewhere on the way here
Happy with a stray, we're
In a dull malaise here
Riding in the rain

Aqua greens and blues would work boys
And of course there's always turquoise
Yellow sunshine, sixties' relic
Orange as well looks psychedelic, yeah

Sometimes I wonder
Will it bounce back later on?
These days I'm under
The impression that it's gone

Something wild would sure be welcome
Automakers sure could sell some
Why not make the drive time lighter?
How about cars that drive by brighter, yeah

Now you got your charcoal
And silver
And rust tones
And white
Dull metallic lead, some
Maybe brown instead ,some
Understated red, some
Unexciting sight

If you'd like a real-life
Something you can feel like
Find a better deal life
Keep on switching lanes
Somewhere on the way here
Happy with a stray, we're
In a dull malaise here
Riding in the rain

Saw this purple new Toyota
Automakers these days go for
Cars that look like rainy weather
Almost never bright ones, ever, no
