Big Thief - Once a Buncha Times lyrics
[Big Thief - Once a Buncha Times lyrics]
Once a buncha times I took it too hard
Everything you told me I took it apart
I pulled you in and pushed you
Out right from the start
I was leaving before I'd arrived
Eyes are magnetic, that moldavite flame
Stopping the traffic, all six lanes
You're callin' 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 holdin' your hand
By Wednesday in August
I was playin' with my band
Then Thursday in August, I was makin' a plan
Thеn I shut like a shuttered Friday
Your lips arе 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 the movies
We could switch off in showers
We can turn it up
(up) , turn it down (down)
Watch Austin Powers
But I was leaving before I'd arrived
I'm fairly good at takin' a small thing
And blowin' it up real big
I couldn't fit it in my wallet
I couldn't fit it in my rig
I can twist it in, twist it out
Can really dig
About leavin' before I'd arrived
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and
Give peace a chance
You believe in me some
You believe in me a lot
You see all the good things
I seem to've forgot
You can cheer me up and calm me down
You know the spot you say "Honey won't you
Stay a little while?"
You can make me smile just by lookin' 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
We can flapjack a nickel, pancake a dime
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
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and
Give peace a chance
I say lets fine dine the demons
And save all the ants
Everything you told me I took it apart
I pulled you in and pushed you
Out right from the start
I was leaving before I'd arrived
Eyes are magnetic, that moldavite flame
Stopping the traffic, all six lanes
You're callin' 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 holdin' your hand
By Wednesday in August
I was playin' with my band
Then Thursday in August, I was makin' a plan
Thеn I shut like a shuttered Friday
Your lips arе 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 the movies
We could switch off in showers
We can turn it up
(up) , turn it down (down)
