I finally had all my ducks in a row,
Peace and quiet, by means of subtraction.
And 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 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 psychic deraileur,
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'll tell her I leave if she don't settle down
She sees 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
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
