Cars & Calories

Her life was magazines and faithful TV screens

Selling an empty dream of cars and calories

Everything in between the sun and Saturn's ring

The price tag can't be seen

And it took bites out of her insides

'Til she was just a hollow shell

Grew up in east L.A., watching celebrities

Living out all her dreams

The plastic canopy of U.S. royalty

Drew her gaze towards the sky, away from her own mind

And it took bites out of her insides

'Til she was just a hollow shell

And at her home her mother cried

'Cause daddy had something on the side

They didn't look up when she sighed

Oh

When August came around, bathing suits on the ground

Replaced by a cotton cloak

To see her own reflection was like squinting in the sun

And when all tomorrow brings is a set of broken wings

Well, it takes bites out of your insides

'Til you are just a hollow shell

And it took bites out of her insides

'Til she was just a hollow shell
