The Girl With The Wandering Eye
Your friend with the subwoofer blew out my tweeter at that biker
party downtown
but that was ok 'cause he borrowed a fuse from the leather clad
boy in the back
And after the cops & requisite fight, me & my friends,
we fell down for the night &
I made love to the girl with the wandering eye
I woke to the sound of a fist on my doorbell with a headache the
size of Peru
the landlord was scowlin', my baby was towelling off beer mixed
with blood on the floor
& after the eviction was handed to me, we moved to the trailer
park three by three &
I made love to the girl with the wandering eye
I think my baby's got a wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited, we're short-sighted, but united
in love. I think we're in love
I got a job at the subway downtown making sandwiches with plastic
gloves
her mother moved in & we all lived in sin playing minature
golf underground
& after the parties, the leather-clad boys would square dance
together & make lot's of noise &
I'd make love to the girl with the wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited, we're short-sighted, but united
in love. I think we're in love
We borrowed a printing press, started a paper, to publish our leftish
ideals
we spoke of a new world, the FBI soon heard & the phones were
tap dancing too
& after the Fed's & the requisite fight, we ran from the
trailer in the middle of the night
& I had a child with the girl with the wandering eye
I think my baby's got a wandering eye
I think my baby's going to stay for a while
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited, we're short-sighted, but united
in love. I think we're in love
