Open Heart Surgery

Such a crazy little girl...

What was once open heart surgery
is now closed because of burglary
her soft hands on my batteries
taking me down with the sun
taking me down to where the vultures come
and circle over my heart disease
and that ailment is she
but sometimes I find a cure she unearths inside me
makes me feel like the king of the world
but never king of that crazy little girl

What was once easy street
is now a traffic jam meet and greet
all the lost lovers I've rediscovered
taking me to orbit 'round the moon
taking me back to the tinkling little tune
she inspired in me, dedicated to her
the wonder in her
and sometimes I find another tune growing inside me
makes me feel like I can bring it into the world
all because of that crazy little girl

So she drives me up a wall
so what?
I like it when I'm up there
I can see so many miles down this hall
back to the past where she came out of nowhere
and dropped her anchor into me
buried her treasure in me, after years of open heart surgery
the barricades open only to her command
so she can be sure I'll always stay her man

What was now a cold heart of December
is now a burning hell of July because of her
and I think I like it
she takes me down to the roots of me
she takes me hand in hand and gives to me freely
she's my little wing, she's got my firecracker lit
and sometimes the night is cloudy
so sometimes she brings a little hot light into my world
leaving me to know that crazy little girl
is to me, the whole crazy little world
plus one..

Me plus her equals moon and tide
think I'm gonna curl up inside her heart and hide
feels like I'm in the eye of a hurricane
her eyes shine a love that's perfectly insane
it's just right for me
stitching up after open heart surgery
the glow she buried inside me forever to remain there
and I like the tickle I feel in there

Such a crazy little girl...
