Once a Bunch

Once a buncha times, I took it to heart

Everything you told me, I took it apart

I pulled you in, I pushed you out right from the start

I was leaving before I'd arrived

Eyes magnetic, that moldavite flame

Stopping the traffic, all six lanes

Calling me baby, barely sayin' my name

I was leaving before I'd arrived

Half a margarita, have a little dance

Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

On a Tuesday in August, I was holding your hand

Wednesday in August, I was playin' with my band

Thursday in August, I was makin' a plan

Then I shut like a shutter Friday

Your lips are electric, like lightning and rain

Your tastes are eclectic, multigrain

You pull on my shoestrings, and you open my brain

But I was leaving before I'd arrived

Half a margarita, have a little dance

Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

We could talk for hours, I could buy you flowers

We could switch off in movies and switch off in showers

We can turn it up and turn it down, watch Austin Powers

I was leaving before I'd arrived

I can take a small thing and blow it up real big

I couldn't fit it in my wallet, I couldn't fit it in my rig

I can twist it out and twist it in, I can really dig

About leaving before I'd arrived

Half a margarita, have a little dance

Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

Well, you believe in me some, you believe in me a lot

You see all the good stuff I seem to have forgot

You can cheer me up and calm me down, you know the spot

You say, "Honey, won't you stay a little while?"

And you can make me smile just by looking around

You take me to the invisible lost and found

Where I can find a sweater or an old love letter

About leaving before I'd arrived

Half a margarita, have a little dance

Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

Oh, we can pancake a nickel, we can flapjack a dime

We can waffle a tickle, french toast wine

We can take in bacon, sunshine

Tee off with a coffee and a tan

Half a margarita, have a little dance

Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

Let's fine dine the demons and save all the ants
