Jacob Escobedo - Bait And Switch lyrics

I finally had all my ducks in a row Peace and quiet, a means of subtraction 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 My guts and my heart are so out of phase And that kind of girl, she ain't nobody's daughter I'm just not used to these powerful ways She's shining the bra** and I'm taking on water What am I to do now? [Hook] I call on a beautiful witch with a moral compa** Bait and switch Hide from my physic derailleur Drive his car to the sea Spend the night as high as I can In a towering hemlock But it's no use. I can always be found A creature of habit has no real protection I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down She sees it's a lie on closer inspection Like everyone else does Been rubbing a terrible charm Holding smoke in my arms I'm just a simple man Cursed with an honest heart Watch it go and tear it all apart Been rubbing a terrible charm Holding smoke in my arms I'm just a simple man Cursed with an honest heart Watch her go and tear it all apart
