I don't want to know   A car's make or breed
I'm not really concerned   About its maximum speed
Just so long   As the windows are clean
And the duco is smooth   As silken sheen

So I can watch   As I do pass
The surroundings reflected   In the glass
A curve and a bump   Can distort the view
And force you to see   The image as new

And if the glass is not thoroughly   Uniform
Warped surrealistic patterns   There can form
Clouds in the roof   Reflected lie
On the bonnet a building   Towers into the sky

A car passes by   And it can feel
Like a movie moving   By on wheels
