Long line of cars
There's a long line of cars
And they're trying to get through
There's no single explanation
There's no central destination
But this long line of cars
Is trying to get through

And this long line of cars
Is all because of you

You don't wonder where we're going
Or remember where we've been
We've got to keep this traffic
Flowing and accept a little spin
So this long line of cars
will never have an end

And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend

From the streets of Sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.
We've got to keep this fire burning
and accept a little gray
So this long line of cars
Is trying to break free

And this long line of cars
Is all because of me

--Cake

1. Reminds me of a short story I once read
Where Aliens from another planet were observing Earth. They saw all the cars driving around, in all different shapes, colors, and sizes. They assumed this was the dominating life form on Earth. They also obvserved lots of smaller things moving to and from the life forms, entering briefly, then leaving again when the life form stopped. They assumed these were parasites of some kind... :)

2. Sounds similar to how "Ford Prefect" chose his earth-name...
An understandable mistake about the dominant life form :-)
