One wound up punch of intuition 
Lays flat my whole take on us 
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer 
The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time 

Could have been so good-natured 
If I'd relented when you insisted
But we've been backed against 
All nature's walls for too long 

You felt abandoned by me
I recall the sunshine as you were melting 
And though the comedy softens the fall 
They still hear us with their ears to the wall 

I sold all my evil motives
No icicles stuck in my hide 
I'm through with riddles, I know we're little 
Just help me feel warm inside 

Before we take this ride and let it slide 
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide 
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love 
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind 
Any other kind

Could have been so good-natured 
If you'd relented when I insisted
We take a week off, let the garden grow by itself 
And let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory nineties 
And though the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short 

Before we take this ride and let it slide 
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide 
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love 
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind
Any other kind
