Sheesh. Mercer enunciates well and it's pretty clear what he's saying.
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
But 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 psychic derailer
Drive this car to 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'll tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down
She sees it's a lie on closer inspection, like everyone else does
Then rub a terrible charm
Hold it smoking in my eyes
I'm just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Watch me go and tear it all apart
Then rub a terrible charm
Hold it smoking in my eye
I'm just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Watch me go and tear it all apart
This reminds me of Turn a Square in sound and subject matter. Seems a little forced, though.
