Superstitious Girl from Aldona's Daughter by Stunt Lover

magpies in the churchyard Saturday morning holding mass, caw-calling out salvation to all us sinners that walk past / and shoes have been left on the corner, just more victims from last night / their tongues cut out, their soles are broke but they put up quite a fight / this is what the world has to offer as I'm passing by / plastic bags do pirouettes just like you and I as we're dancing around the subject, making eyes across the table / we both know what we want to say and know we are not able / our fingers meet a moment but that's all that we can do / think I'll have another drink, think you should have one too / go ahead / it's on me / I don't mind / I'll do whatever it takes just to make you make some time

Now I know you never were a superstitious girl / I've suffered all your questions and your theoretic worlds / some folks call this true love, others call it fate / but if we want the answers have to hurry up and wait / it's gonna take a little time and authenticity but darling those are two things that you never have to beg from me / you're a bull with stormy eyes hiding in a lion's den / and you're drowning dragons in the oceans of your fountain pen / so let's put the voodoo dolls and love potions on the shelf / with a little patience think we'll work this out ourselves / we're dancing around each other like particles through space / and stars shone a million years ago to light your face just tonight / next to mine / and I'm trying / to do whatever it takes just to make you change your mind
