A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off

Текст песни The Magnetic Fields - A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off

[Verse 1]
Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligible and cute as Cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable and free for the night

[Chorus]
Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard falling in and out of love
The poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
Whoa, Nellie

[Verse 2]
My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens hope to land me
I'm for free love and I'm in free fall
This could be love or nothing at all

[Chorus]
Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard falling in and out of love
The poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
[Bridge]
We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be anything quite so unreal
Let's just be lovers

[Chorus]
Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
It ain't pretty
