Spoon - Eddie's Ragga lyrics

Someone that I met but I hardly knew
He said that everyone loves a defective heart
He'd parted ways with diction
This was late last night
He see me getting your affection and
It proved he was right
The way I stared off thinking
That all was sound
Anyone I knew they woulda called me down
You can break my legs
You can kick me downstairs
But there ain't no getting
Over Joanie Hale-Maier just let me walk away
Ah let me walk away

And then the place ignite
It's in my face and I'm behind the bassline

Someone that I knew but I hardly met
Told me, it's hopeless I'm a slut for
The New York Times she made my heart soft
Worn an aiguillette on her arm
She never been to Texas
Never heard of King Kong
And it'd been so long since
I'd been suitably high
So we did an Airborne
Settled in for the night
Tell me sweetness don't somehow
Reach your heart
Until you fall flat down and
You can't wait to start
This is the one cold truth
We've all of us known
As I think to myself this could be
Easy or I could face it alone

And then the place ignite
All out of grace and I'm behind the bassline
