lyrics
She dresses in black
But she's not as dark as she'd like you to think
She scrapes her plate
But just this once it's not bothering me
She's got a leather jacket
She's probably eaten the cow
But not all at once
And I can't take my eyes off her now
She's under my nails
Under my skin
The top of her head reaches just under my chin
I'm under her spell
Her eyes are like wells
And I'm falling in
Could I be falling in love?
Is that so wrong?
She seems to think that true love should take longer
Than a day and a half
It does make one laugh
I wish she'd give in
I've seen her CDs
She's got industrial ceiling to floor
She's got Crowded House (there is freedom within, there is freedom without)
But only because of track 4
So I won't dream it's over
Not 'til she pulls out the flag
Hey now, Hey now
I can't help these feelings I've had
She's under my skull
The top of my spine
I'm under impressions
That she might be mine
I'm under her thumb
I feel like I'm drunk
Every time
Every time I come home
She's on my machine
Leaving a message that says,
"Hey, I'll see you
tomorrow, today
I'll go either way
and that'll be fine."
Under my skull
The top of my spine
And I know she'd get offended
If she heard me call her the one
'Cause she gets so apprehensive
When I ask her not to run
Oh I know she'd get defensive
If I said she's just leading me on
But it's too incomprehensive
She says she just wants to have fun.
But she's not as dark as she'd like you to think
She scrapes her plate
But just this once it's not bothering me
She's got a leather jacket
She's probably eaten the cow
But not all at once
And I can't take my eyes off her now
She's under my nails
Under my skin
The top of her head reaches just under my chin
I'm under her spell
Her eyes are like wells
And I'm falling in
Could I be falling in love?
Is that so wrong?
She seems to think that true love should take longer
Than a day and a half
It does make one laugh
I wish she'd give in
I've seen her CDs
She's got industrial ceiling to floor
She's got Crowded House (there is freedom within, there is freedom without)
But only because of track 4
So I won't dream it's over
Not 'til she pulls out the flag
Hey now, Hey now
I can't help these feelings I've had
She's under my skull
The top of my spine
I'm under impressions
That she might be mine
I'm under her thumb
I feel like I'm drunk
Every time
Every time I come home
She's on my machine
Leaving a message that says,
"Hey, I'll see you
tomorrow, today
I'll go either way
and that'll be fine."
Under my skull

And I know she'd get offended
If she heard me call her the one
'Cause she gets so apprehensive

Oh I know she'd get defensive
If I said she's just leading me on
But it's too incomprehensive
She says she just wants to have fun.

about
Paul Tabachneck New York
I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out.
