Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

A Chicken with Its Head Cut Off

Eligible, not too stupid

Intelligable and cute as Cupid

Knowledgable but not always right

Salvageable and free for the night

Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love

Poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Woah, nelly!

My wife doesn't understand me

Many dozens hope to land me

I'm for free love and I'm in free fall

This could be love or nothing at all

But my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love

The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night, or electric eels under the covers

We don't have to be anything quite so unreal, let's just be lovers

Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love

The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty
