Chorus:
Girl
You bring the laughter
To my disaster
You strangle the truth
When that the waters blue
And we could see clear through
I saw the stones
You just saw the bones
So then you gave a grin
And started flapping your fins
Where did you go?
Someplace I didn’t know
I waited on the beach
You came back with some eats
It was a bone marrow
Why did you know?
(chorus)
When we were in Arabia
I had on a white hat
What did he say to ya?
The guy with the black cat
Out on the desert sand
I was caring a load
When we found a deadman
You gave a grin and joked
He looks like a scarecrow
Why did you know?
(chorus)
But sometimes when I tell her the news
I swear she looks right through me
Far away in a roofless dollhouse
Playing with headless babies
