| Like a ton of bricks it hits
|
| Before she finishes her sentence
|
| As the predicate predicts
|
| A swift ending to her presence
|
| I could see it coming from a mile away
|
| At six hundred miles an hour
|
| A surprise attack, a tora tora kamikaze
|
| No looking back
|
| A tactic of considerable power
|
| It doesn’t matter now what i should have done then
|
| My heart was in the right place at the wrong time again
|
| In close to half a second my composure was lost
|
| And i had found my modesty
|
| «everything not in the dumpster was otherwise tossed,»
|
| …her voice lacking sincerity
|
| A phone call is made at midnight
|
| That won’t let her fall asleep
|
| The ringer’s turned off
|
| But she can hear the answering machine
|
| It’s you plus me divided by inadequacy times my denial
|
| Minus three words that were thrown around and around
|
| And a why can doo mang ing tang duaplan
|
| If you want to get away you’ll have to go through me
|
| Or walk over my dead body (and you just may)
|
| The ship is sinking, i’m the captain, there’s no escape
|
| If you want to get away you’re gonna hafta go through |
| Meeeehey! |
