The Drones - The Drifting Housewife lyrics

I was more worried about taxes When my lovely red-eyed bride Became a hairsplitting believer That i should be vilified She'd see the rudder fail me Move to Egypt or to Spain The hammer fell, my fate's altered Like sparks thrown from a flame You know the Law Know the Law My hopes were razed like three day growth Then raked by nervous ticks Was i the bulls-eye or the launch-pad? I could never find the switch Her eye received heaven from earth Like an atoll petrified Except where Saturn's life-belt Shields a half life from your eyes You know the Law Know the Law So don't go getting married You can only change her name You know the Law Know the Law I'm out here on lighthouse duty Where the foghorns groan through space Echo into red ant country Through the doldrums and the wastes I'd right the wrongs if i could But some things can't be exchanged So don't go getting married You can only change her name Don't go getting married You can only change her name You know the Law Know the Law
