I finally had all my ducks in a row
|
Peace and quiet by means of subtraction
|
How she got in I'm not sure that I know
|
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction
|
My eyes in a basket
|
|
My gut and my heart are so out of phase,
|
And that kind of girl she ain't nobody's daughter
|
I'm just not used to these powerful waves
|
She's shining the brass and I'm taking on water
|
What am I to do now?
|
|
I call on a beautiful witch,
|
with a moral compass Bait and switch
|
Hide from my physic derailleur
|
Drive this car to the sea
|
Spend the night as high as I can
|
In a towering hemlock
|
|
But it's no use I can always be found
|
A creature of habit has no real protection
|
I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down
|
She see's it's a lie on closer inspection
|
Like everyone else does
|
|
Been rubbing a terrible charm
|
Holding smoke in my arms
|
I'm just a simple man
|
Cursed with an honest heart
|
Watch her go and tear it all apart
|
|
