You've told me maybe a thousand times

A smart girl would've recognized

There isn't any business in the street



But some nights, Daddy

I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag

You're softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach



But I know with one good slap

I could take care of that

But who wants to loose the beast of spring?



I guess it started off slow

But it's picking up speed

And it's gaining on me

Like a carnivore



Daylight catches me by surprise

Almost every night

And kicks my way another hole to sleep



I guess it started off slow

But it's picking up speed

And it's gaining on me

Like a carnivore
