Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know she's a tracker
Any scarlet would back her
And they say she's a chooser
Ooh, but I just can't refuse her
[Verse 2]
She was just there, but then
She can't be here no more
[Verse 3]
And as my mind un-weaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
[Verse 4]
She's been down in the dunes
And she's dealt with the goons
Now she drinks from their cup
I'm tryna get her to give it up
[Verse 5]
She was just here, I fear
She can't be here no more
[Verse 6]
And as my mind un-weaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
[Verse 7]
It's long, long when she's gone
I get weary holding on
Now I'm coldly fading fast
I don't think I'm gonna last
Very much longer
[Verse 8]
"She stoned," said the Swede
And the moon calf agreed
But I'm like the viper in shock
With my eyes in the clock
[Verse 9]
She was just there, somewhere
And here I am again
[Verse 10]
And as my mind un-weaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
