Vehicle Lyrics
Hey well I'm the friendly stranger
in the black sedan
I won't you hop inside my car
I got pictures got candy I am a lovable man
and I can take you to then nearest star
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you want to go
I'm your vehicle woman
by now I'm sure your know
That I love you (love you)
Need you (need you)

great god in heaven you know I love you
Well if you want to be a movie star
I can take you to Hollywood
but if you want to stay just like you are
you know I think really should
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you want to go

I think that, beneath the hot-as-shit horns, this song is dark. Real dark.
The band is called The Ides of March. Clearly this song is about death and conspiracy.
"I'm the friendly stranger in a black sedan, won't you hop inside my car".
I will not, if I know what's good for me. Some friends stab you in the back, the bitches.
I do not want your pictures. Nor do I want your candy. I assume they are pornographic and poison.
The horn part itself reflects the horny themes of the song. What else does one associate with horns?
That bastard Mephistopheles, that's who.
Fucking hell I'm horny right now. I'd put it in a goat.
@NigelTewksbury Look up the album cover for the Ides of March album containing Vehicle-- a little girls naked baby doll abandoned in the grass (presumed) by the side of the road, like it's owner had been kidnapped and is never came back for it. But this is what Ted Bundy was doing with college age girls, The transition from the 60s to the 70s was not a happy one and some of the music, like the Mash theme "Suicide is Painless" certainly reflected a descent into darkness. But I think the Vehicle album cover/song was the most sinister. JS...

We played this song in our jazz band. It is awesome!
Always thought this song was by Blood Sweat and Tears. Great lyrics reminds me of the funny T-shirt that says "I'm the man your mother warned you about".
If you recall the album cover you will realize that this song is ominous. It shows a little girl's doll by the side of the road. I get the impression that the "friendly stranger" uses "pictures and candy" to entice and kidnap underage girls for very sick purposes. Perhaps he is Ted Bundy, a serial murderer. Despite being a hell of I song, #1 I believe at the turn of the 60s/70s this song gets no airplay now. Yes, it sounds like Blood Sweat and Tears but this was a bizarre time, Vietnam, white dope, the happy days of the 50-60s gone. Other weird songs include Timothy by the Bouys, that dealt with 2 men trapped in a mine shaft eating the 3rd guy. You never hear this one now either. Even Barbara Streisand came out with a cover of Laura Nyro's earlier statement on suicide, Stoney End, in 1970.
Meaning of the song straight from the horses mouth: https://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-ides-of-march/vehicle
I have always found the lyrics to be structured in order of truth… I love you … not true I need you… closer to the truth I want you … getting even closer I got to have you … we finally get to the truth, the guy just wants to have sex with her.. no love no need no want.
