Lyrics:

I finally had all my ducks in a row,
peace and quiet, the means of subtraction.
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.
Im just not used to these powerful waves.
She's shining the brass and Im 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 derailleur,
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 tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down.
She sees its a lie on closer inspection
Like everyone else does.

Been rubbing a terrible charm,
Holding smoke in my arms.
Im 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.
Im just a simple man, cursed with an honest heart.
Watch her go and tear it all apart.
