Nields Crossing Food In The Backseat
by Lami (1/31/2001)
to the tune of "Cool in the Backseat"

This was inspired by a story told by Katryna at a show in Rochester 1/19/2001 about how she couldn't get her car to start on her way to a gig because the mice living in her backseat had chewed some lines.
You came over to my car, there were only a couple of you
but literally, you were a couple, you were so small I didn't notice you
I dropped some wrappers, some fast food bags, maybe even a couple of fries
It was an open invitation, to multiply, to multiply

All it took was two
peeking
seeking
squeaking around

Eating food in the backseat
Food in the backseat
All this food in the backseat
And I'm infested at the end of the road

I had to leave, I had a gig, everyone was waiting for me
But the car wouldn't start, it made this whine every time I turned the key
My Dave came out and popped the hood while I stood by so I could see
If a man would handle the situation differently, differently

All it took was two
chewing
wooing
ruining my car

Eating food in the backseat
Food in the backseat
All this food in the backseat
Til I'm infested at the end of the road

I was scared, I saw the mechanic, he told me not to get worried
It was just some insulation had gotten stripped away
All I needed was some DCon, and in a hurry
Those furry brown creatures were really hungry...

I drove out to the concert, out to the heartland, out to New York State
I couldn't bear to kill them with the cyanide cheese flavored bait
My car is filled with living things that need me I have no regrets
I'm carrying mine, I'm carrying them, don't tell me that they're not my pets

All it took was two
hiding
biting
riding along

Eating food in the backseat
Food in the backseat
All this food in the backseat
Til I'm infested at the end of the road
