You Must Be Out Of Your Mind ✍ The Magnetic Fields

You Must Be Out Of Your Mind by The Magnectic Fields

(download)

you think I'll run not walk to you
why would I want to talk to you
I want you crawling back to me
down on your knees yeah
like an appendectomy
sans anaesthesia

if you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
if you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind

you want what you turned off, turned on
you call it sunset, now it's dawn
you can't go 'round just saying stuff
because it's pretty
and I no longer drink enough
to think you're witty

if you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
if you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

you want to kindle that old flame
I don't remember your real name
it must be something scandalous
lurks in your shadows
if you need a santa claus
to buy your gallows

if you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
if you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

The Magnetic Fields € I Don't Want To Get Over You

via youtube.com

I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to go through what I go through. I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new.

Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't want to get over you cause I don't want to get over love.

I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough, or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I don't want to get over you.

I'm listening to "(Crazy For You But) Not That Crazy" by The Magnetic Fields from "69 Love Songs"

via youtube.com

I pretended you were Jesus you were just dying to save me. I stood beneath your window with my ukelele. I made a yard a playground just in case we had a baby. Now I'm crazy for you but not that crazy.

The Magnetic Fields - A Chicken With It's Head Cut Off

via youtube.com

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligiable, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the night

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Woah Nelly

My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And i'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at all

But my hearts runnin round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers

Well my heat's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty
