Lyrics to Four Legs Good...

Lovesick Town

I Married a Magician

I married a magician and he sawed me right through
He said he had enough love to satisfy two
Now if you were me and you were two what would you do
Would you take twice the love or would you get out the glue

Remember the wagons when they pulled into town
You could see the big top for miles around
Among the carnival freaks he stood out like a clown
And from his top hat he pulled a wedding gown

Hey hey whatcha gonna do
You can't love me and another one too
Hey hey whatcha gonna say
When the cat's away the rats are gonna play

He had a house of cards hidden up his sleeve
Two hearts on the wall and a colour TV
He was pulling white rabbits from behind my ear
And in the blink of an eye a prenuptial appeared

Soon we gave birth to a tiny wolf boy
He was a hairy freak but a bundle of joy
Had a circus bark much worse than his bite
Howling through his crib by the full moon light

Hey hey whatcha gonna do
You can't love me and another one too
Hey hey whatcha gonna say
When the cat's away the rats are gonna play

Well the story goes that when he came to earth
They broke the mould right there at birth
He was so darn ugly just a bag of skin
The doctor slapped his mother instead of him

Well things got pretty strange towards the end my stay
He'd ride the bearded lady and be gone for days
And just when I thought it was safe to relax
He'd be hanging on the ceiling like a vampire bat

In all that I time I learned the tricks of the trade
I knew there'd be a time when I would have to escape
So instead of packing up and moving away

I found his magic wand
Soon all his stuff was gone
But there was one thing left…
