Bait And Switch

I finally had all my ducks in a row

Peace and quiet a means of subtraction

And how she got in I'm sure that I know

Two weeks on and my spine was in traction

My eyes in a basket

My gut in my heart and so out of phase

And that kind of girl she ain't nobodies daughter

I'm just not used to these powerful ways

She shined on the brass and I'm taking on water

What am I going to do now

I call on a beautiful witch

The moral compass made of Swiss

High from my psychic derailer

Drive this car to the sea

Spend the night as high as a cannon

A towering hemlock

But it not used to always be found

A creature of habit has no real protection

I'll tell her I'll leave her if she don't settle down

Just easier to lie on closer inspection

Like everyone else does

Then run a terrible charm

Hold it smoking in my eyes

I'm just a simple man

Cursed with an honest heart

Watch me go and tear it all apart

Then run a terrible charm

Hold it smoking in my eyes

I'm just a simple man

Cursed with an honest heart

Watch me go and tear it all apart
