What about this one?
"The Dukes of Hazzard, in their car...vroom"
It's a Pink Floyd song.
Overhead the albatross
hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and
Something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And no one flies around the sun
And now this is the day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
and the answer is...
'Our Atmosphere', by Models, from the album 'The Pleasure of Your Company'
(spoken) Our atmosphere...
It came crawling from its mate
smelling of the sea
it sang, and wiped out on its face
ate plankton for its tea
throbbing organs gaped and (something)
see its mother pouting
its passage here is stained and spent
see its father shouting
it's our presence in this world
it's our absence in this world
it (something) through the window
see it change it's form at will
plate in one hand spoon in other
calling for its swill
blank with no ulterior
drunk on its excursion
chewing up our history
it lives out its new version
it's our presence in this world
it's our absence in this world
(spoken) listen please! (something)
stuck inside the air conditioner
seeing our condition
leaking on its tailored clothes
aware of its position
foundation from its predecessor
ceaselessly retiring
it fumbles with regeneration
hopelessly expiring
its our presence in this world
its our absence in this world
its our presence in this world
its our absence in this world

i recommend it, if you like weird swampy-sounding music with weird lyrics...the single 'I Hear Motion" is great too, and the whole album is interesting...
