when Butterflies Dream of Tomorrow

check engine light

check engine light

(a collaboration with openadoor34)

I sometimes think of you as a person

And how dependable you've been to me

You deserve much better than the junkyard

Or even going to a charity

.

I can handle the little dents and scratches

and even the oil that you sometimes bleed

the slowness of your cooling a.c.

but that flashing light, i don't need

.

I know, check engine, thanks for the heads-up

but can you warn me an alternate way?

Perhaps you can wait until I get home,

crack open a beer, then you have your say

.

but of course, that would be too easy to do

sometimes i think you don't give a damn

and now your really pissing me off

seriously? coming on in the middle of a traffic jam
