Lyrics Katherine Anne Porter - Barbarisms

Katherine Anne Porter

The influenza plague turned her hair white overnight
but she survived
Robert said: Katherine, you made a deal with the devil
I could have been priced out of the raffle but i won the odds
Now it’s like I’ve got time for everything
I was just pulling your legs when all that medicine shut my eyes
See, i survived
You slapped and called me your lucky devil
I could have been priced out of the raffle but i won the odds
Now it’s like I’ve got time for everything
I wanna house i wanna lawn
I wanna wife doesn’t want another man
I want a couple kids to love
I don’t want anything to happen to them
I could have been priced out of the raffle but i won the odds
Now it’s like I’ve got time for everything
I thought life was like the smoke inside a log
But i had no matches
I thought life was like the prince inside of the princess’s frog
And i was no princess
I could have been priced out of the raffle but i won the odds
Now it’s like I’ve got time for everything
