Reactionary girl lyrics

I can tell what you're ready to do

You got your bags all packed and your face painted blue

Your lifeline is a pendulum, swingin' high and low

Oh, but now you're three thousand miles from the softest blow.

'Cause nothing that I do, can stop her swinging

As far as she can, with her ears still ringing

Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world

I didn't know you were such, a reactionary girl.

Her eyes became restless and her mouth got tense

She must have been ready to begin a new experience

I was waiting for the rain to fall but the clouds just passed on by

Now I know I'd only been a fool to try.

'Cause nothing that I do, can stop her swinging

As far as she can, with her ears still ringing

Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world

I didn't know you were such, a reactionary girl.

Tell her she's lucky

Tell her she's liked

It's only salt water

Keeps her up at night.

Well a man loves a woman, that's what we do

We make false starts, broken hearts, and try to see it through

But now you're riding on your pendulum, immune to us all

Well baby, have a bitching summer, see ya next fall 'cause.

Nothing that I do, can stop her swinging

As far as she can, with her ears still ringing

Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world

I didn't know you were such.

A reactionary girl

A reactionary girl

A reactionary girl.
