This is what I hear folks, some places I'm not sure about.
I finally had all my ducks in a row
Peace and quiet by means of subtraction
And how she got in?
I mean shouldn’t I know?
We’re 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 use to these powerful waves
She shined on the brass and I’m taking on water
What am I to do now?
I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass
Bait and switch
High from my psychic derailing
Drive this car to the sea
Spend the night as high as I can in a towering hemlock
But it’s no use; it 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’s easy to lie on closer inspection (?)
Like everyone else does
Then running a terrible charm
Hold it smoking my eyes
I’m just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why’d you go and tear it all apart?
Then running a terrible charm (?)
Hold it smoking my eyes (?)
I’m just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why’d you go and tear it all apart?
