lyrics

she wrote oh, she wrote it all down
not exactly how it happened, no, it’s all turned around

there was this fetching girl
and a tall lean man
all the girl loved were words
and the man, he wasn’t the first
to fall victim to her imagination

she wrote that all he loved were birds
not the free kind, the leashed hunting hawk kind

the villain and the heroine were once in love
it’s a fierce grip he’s got on her, he’d like to think so,
but there’s no there there, she looks through him like a kaleidoscope

lovesick and comatose
come down off your high horse
heart on the table, under the knife,
give up the ghost to save your life

she wrote, she wrote it all down
he loves his hunting hawks,
but she’s no bird of prey
she chose her favorite words
gonna end this thing today

everyone knows a caged bird don’t sing

she smiles at him, gives a little laugh, says here it goes.
“i’m an ingénue with the wherewithal
i’m gonna give you a little denouement
there’s no panacea for you tonight
give up the ghost to save your life”

the villain and the heroine, were once in love
“i’m an ingénue with the wherewithal
i’m gonna give you a little denouement
there’s no panacea for you tonight
give up the ghost to save your life”

lovesick
comatose and close
come down off
your high horse
