I bring the hammer down. A tiny crushing sound

Oh my goodness...
It's the most beautiful
Little thing I've ever seen in my life
It's blue on the outside
And all creamy on the inside... yeah
I can't bring myself to smash it
So I take it for a ride on a
F#5
Sunny summer Sunday afternoon

Riding with the top down
