maybe it's a south paw
that's still in love with her
or maybe it's the dancer
that she can't help but cling to
maybe got a blackmail
they got the secrets on her
looking for a ransom
to keep the guessing going
<things won't be the same>
maybe on the ride home
they put some ideas out there
all too deep to notice
but there's the message
that'll surface in the morning
in time to build the end
the sky is falling down now
but i don't know it yet
(prechorus)
grab your shoes by the bed
fix your face again
wash yourself best you can
don't leave trace of him
catch your ride into town
where you'll meet your friends
make your plans when you leave
to see him again
(chorus)
things won't be the same
maybe you're a south paw
that's still in love with her
or maybe you're the dancer
that she can't help but cling to
or maybe it's a blackmail
that knows her secrets somehow
looking for a ransom
to keep the guessing going
maybe on the ride home
you put some ideas out there
all too deep to notice
but there's the message
and it's right there in the morning
in time to build the end
the sky is falling down now
but i don't know it yet
