A Foolish Arrangement

[Verse 1]

Christabel strips and slips like a dream

Breaking ice with arms that gleam

With pain, disdain, she throws her head

And glides against the stream

[Verse 2]

Throwing me her bravest smile

Defiant, glittering, shivering guile

"Catching a cold is quick this time

But fish, fish may take a while"

[Verse 3]

Christabel dips and slips from me

Hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free

Triumphant, reluctantly, struggling

Six legs held up for me to see

[Verse 4]

"Don't be so scared, it's nothing new

It's the same old game, only fun with two"

But fast and over and over

"I can't play this game with you"

[Chorus]

Everything she tries to tell me

Leaves me open mouthed and still

Foolishly arrange tomorrow

The way I always will

[Verse 5]

Christabel trips and grips my hand

But never to be saved

For a second I understand

And I fall with her

[Verse 6]

"I'll never leave you, love you

See you change into the man I want

But it's not for long this thing

It's not for long"

[Chorus]

Everything she tries to tell me

Leaves me open mouthed and still

Foolishly arrange tomorrow

The way I always will

[Chorus]

Everything she tries to tell me

Leaves me open mouthed and still

Foolishly arrange tomorrow

The way I always will
