The Terrordactyls - Parking Lots lyrics

I saw a heart shaped oil stain last night While walking home on Pike and Broadway Like a loving queen perched On her asphalt throne She ruled the corner firmly Like a mother to her child Like a lover to a daydream Or as magic tricks will rule a smile She hid beneath a taxi as her Neighbors screamed and fought The Shell station was her kingdom Her castle was the parking lot She wondered if one day She'd find a king to keep the drunks at bay A gentle oil puddle That would never wash away She was born from an old engine That had never really been maintained A broken home beneath a hood That leaked each time it rained She hadn't met her parents But she heard that they resided An a sidewalk by a Texaco On eastern Staten Island They never lived to learn That their daughter had become royalty A hard working employee Scrubbed their bodies to the street
