Shins Bait And Switch
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 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 derailer,
drive this car to the sea,
spend the night as high as a cannon in a towering hemloch.
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,
