Once a buncha times I took it to heart
Everything you told me I took it apart
I pulled you in, I pushed you out right from the start
I was leaving before I'd arrived
Eyes magnetic, that moldavite flame
Stopping the traffic, all six lanes
Calling me baby, barely saying 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 holding your hand
Wednesday in August, I was playing with my band
Thursday in August, I was making a plan
Then I shut like a shuttered Friday
Your lips are 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 movies and switch off in showers
We can turn it up and turn it down, watch Austin Powers
I was leaving before I'd arrived
I can take a small thing and blow it up real big
I couldn't fit it in my wallet, I couldn't fit it in my rig
I can twist it out and twist it in, I can really dig
About leaving before I've arrived
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance
Well you believe in me some, you believe in me a lot
You see all the good stuff I seem to have forgot
You can cheer me up and calm me down, you know the spot
You say "Honey, won't you stay a little while?"
And you can make me smile just by looking 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 arrive"
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance
We can pancake a nickel, we can flapjack a dime
We can waffle a tickle, french toast wine
We can take in bacon, sunshine
Tea 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
Let's fine dine the demons and save all the ants
