Lyrics Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley

Ain't It Peculiar

Ain't it peculiar, darlin'?

How our love goes on and on

Ain't it peculiar, honey?

We take the bad with the wrong

You know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Ain't it peculiar, woman?

You know we'll laugh our way through

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

You know I'm ready to say that?

Lord, you're the talk of the town

The next minute, you're busted

Just listenin' to that jail-house sound

You know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Ain't it peculiar, woman?

How we'll just laugh our way through

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

You know, double-talk is poison

But that's the rule of the game

Instead of backstabbing, they practice

All the little things that drive you insane

You know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Know, it's so peculiar

I can still laugh my way through it

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?

Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?

Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?
