  • I finally had all my ducks in a row
    Peace and quiet, the 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

    Well, god in my heart is 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 shallows the breath and I'm taking on water
    What am I to do now?

    I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass
    I better swim

    Hide from my psychic derailleur
    Drive this car to the sea
    Spend the night as high as a cannon in a towering hemlock

    But it's no use you 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

    The running, a terrible chomp
    All this smoke in my eyes
    I'm just a simple man
    Cursed with an honest heart
    Why'd she go and tear it all apart?

    The running, a terrible chomp
    All this smoke in my eyes
    I'm just a simple man
    Cursed with an honest heart
    Why'd she go and tear it all apart? Writer/s: JAMES MERCER
