Once A Bunch

Once a bunch of times I took it to heart Everything you told me, I took it apart I pulled you in, I 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 saying 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 playing with my band Thursday in August, I was making a plan Then I shut like a shuttered Friday Your lips are electric like lightning and rain Your tastes are eclectic, multigrain You pull on my shoestrings and you open my brain 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 and turn it down, watch Austin Powers I was leaving before I'd arrived I can take a small thing and blow it up real big I couldn't fit it in my wallet, I couldn't fit it in my rig I can twist it out and twist it in, I can really dig About leaving before I've arrived Half a margarita, have a little dance Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance Well, 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 and 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 arrive 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, sunshine Tea 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
