Desperate Dan was a solitary man, a loner   He had a girl but I guess he'd just outgrown her   It's hard to dig but he made his big decision   Became the man who ate his car - Collision !!   They spread the news to every local station   Come see the guy who swallows cars, - Sensation !!    CHORUS   They said he couldn't digest it, but he just went ahead   And undressed it   Mechanic in a panic, oh what a state.   He ate his meal full of steel from a plate.   Munched his way into a million hearts as he ate the tyres   And the spare parts.   Some guys do anything to be seen, on the screen,   What a dream, it's obscene.   Now it's clear that his career took a wrong turn,   The Golden Gate on a dinner date,   Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn   He's left the earth in a multi-berth Apollo   Venus and Mars, the rest of the stars to swallow.     CHORUS    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
