***ARE YOU DIGGING THIS TRACK? THEN YOU'LL LOVE THE SHINY NEW VERSION! TAKE A PEEK AT THE VERSION ON OUR RECORD, "SPACE IN MY NOGGIN"!
You're trotting back to your car after some lovely outing not realizing that you've cut it just a tad too close this time and YOUR METER HAS BEEN EXPIRED FOR .03 SECONDS causing your heart to explode into a thousand tiny pieces all for the blasted $35 you will needlessly shell out to this god forsaken town. And then all at once you catch a whiff and see him! Your head whips around as you spy him stalking away across the street... neon orange pad hanging haughtily out of his back pocket... and you think, "what kind of poor unfortunate soul could love a creature like that, feeding off those with poor timing and a lack of quarters?"
*Just kidding! We don't actually hate meter maids. No need to shoot the messenger, but it sure feels good, doesn't it?
lyrics
You don't see me watching you from afar
You're standing on the curb
And I know, know you've got, got a way with words
Cuz I've read your notes before
And I can't ignore them
They've got my attention
They're neon
It's illegal to just throw em out
I ain't got the time for you
The time for you
No, I ain't got the time for you
The time for you,
The time for you
No, I ain't got the time
You don't appeal to my senses
You know you've really got a bite
I'll appeal this
Every cent it gonna stay wrapped up so tight
Cuz I've read your notes before
I shouldn't ignore them
They've for my attention
They're neon
It's illegal to just throw em out
I ain't got the time for you
The time for you
No, I ain't got the time for you
The time for you,
The time for you
No, I ain't got the time
