lyrics

the first time i saw murphy she was comin’ in to land
flapping out her arms and grabbing at my hand
to swear allegiance ‘cause she’s the kind that can
get you to feeling like you never have

wrong, wrong, wrong there is nothing going on
don’t get me wrong, wrong
before i’m gone
i’ve been holding on too long

the morning after of a different time
layiing claims to what could not be mine
she’s everything i once thought of as bad
but she had me wanting things i’ve never had!

the second time i saw her ends with us both bathed in sweat
the act of love an act of mutual contempt
so she could find her way back when she’s scared
more afraid of what she’s forgotten
than of what she’s learned

wrong, wrong, wrong there is nothing going on
don’t get me wrong, wrong
before i’m gone
i’ve been holding on too long

she has a humour entirely her own
makes people edgy; think they’ve never know
what it’s like to laugh and never care
if they’re the only one that’s laughing there
lost for a reason you’re lost for words
inside a victory you cannot declare
she says: shut up and listen
‘cause here’s the thing
i was allergic to my wedding ring
