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 ain't nobody's daughter I'm just not used to these powerful waves She shallows the breath and I'm taking on water What am I to do now? I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass I better swim Hide from my psychic derailleur Drive this car to the sea Spend the night as high as a cannon in a towering hemlock But it's no use you 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 chomp 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 chomp 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? --- Bait And Switch - The Shins
