She’s a pretty girl
But she’s oh so cruel
Got the hands of a priest
And the eyes of a fool
Like a book of matches
With the matches all used
That’s a match to win
And a match to lose.
I’ve been a wandering
For a long, long time
My path is drawing circles
Round a straight, straight line
Piercing through a heart
That doesn’t seem to mind
Finally understanding
What it is to be mine
Oh darlin’!
You keep my engine clean
I’m trying to tell you what I mean
Stop your crying
You’re losing all control
I’m dying
To tell you what I know
Standing on the corner
With my mind in my hand
Thinking I could throw it
Just to watch it land
And maybe I’d forget it
And never move again
Never knowing where I’m going
‘Cause I don’t know where I’ve been
