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's Shining the brass and I'm taking on water.

What am I to do now?

I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass

Bait and Switch

Hide from my psychic derailer,

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'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 charm,

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 charm,
