Once a Bunch

once a buncha times I took it to heart

everything you told me I took it apart

i pulled you in, pushed you out right from the start

i was leaving before I’d arrived

eyes magnetic, that moldavite flame

stopping the traffic, all six lanes

calling me baby, barely sayin’ my name

i was leaving before i’d arrived

half a margarita

have a little dance

let’s’ fine dine the demons

and give peace a chance

on a tuesday in august I was holding your hand

wednesday in august I was playin’ with my band

thursday in august I was makin’ a plan

then I shut like a shutter friday

your lips are electric like lightning and rain

your tastes are eclectic, multigrain

you pull on my shoestrings and you open my bain

but I was leaving before I’d arrived

half a margarita

have a little dance

let’s fine dine the demons

and give peace a chance

we could talk for hours, I could buy you flowers

we could switch off in movies and switch off in showers

we can turn it up, turn it down, watch Austin Powers

i was leaving before I’d arrived

i can take a small thing, blow it up real big

couldn’t fit it in my wallet, couldn’t fit it in my rig

i can twist it out and twist it in, I can really dig

about leaving before I arrive

half a margarita

have a little dance

let’s fine dine the demons

and give peace a chance

you believe in me some, you believe in me a lot

you see all the good stuff I seem to have forgot

you can cheer me up, calm me down, you know the spot

you say “Honey, won’t you stay a little while”

and you can make me smile just by looking around

you take me to the invisible lost and found

where I can find a sweater, or an old love letter

about leaving before I arrived

half a margarita

have a little dance

let’s fine dine the demons

and give peace a chance

we can pancake a nickel, we can flapjack a dime

we can waffle a tickle, french toast wine

we can take in bacon, in sunshine

tee off with a coffee and a tan

half a margarita

have a little dance

let’s fine dine the demons

and give peace a chance

let’s fine dine the demons

and save all the ants
