"Car Gears Stick In Reverse, Daring Driver Crosses Town Backwards" lyrics
Yo La Tengo & Jad Fair Lyrics
He banged his bumper backing up
Things went from bad to worse
The gears got jammed when the brakes were slammed
And his steering got stuck in reverse
He got out to look over the damage
And the bumper seemed just barely bent
He decided that he'd still be able to drive
If he backed up wherever he went
He almost ran into a sports car
That was parked down the road from his drive
He missed the first fence post he came to
But then he knocked down the next four or five
He managed to miss some mailboxes
But crashed into the curb with his car
He was sure that his plan was a poor one
Before he had gone very far
He kept his eyes peeled for repair shops
And backed into the first one he found
Where mechanics pinpointed the problem
And a tune-up got him turned around
Car gears stick in reverse
Daring driver crosses town backwards
Things went from bad to worse
The gears got jammed when the brakes were slammed
And his steering got stuck in reverse
He got out to look over the damage
And the bumper seemed just barely bent
He decided that he'd still be able to drive
If he backed up wherever he went
He almost ran into a sports car
That was parked down the road from his drive
He missed the first fence post he came to
But then he knocked down the next four or five
He managed to miss some mailboxes
But crashed into the curb with his car
He was sure that his plan was a poor one
Before he had gone very far
He kept his eyes peeled for repair shops
And backed into the first one he found
Where mechanics pinpointed the problem
And a tune-up got him turned around
Car gears stick in reverse
Daring driver crosses town backwards
