23.A Chicken with Its Head Cut Off

作詞:Stephin Merritt

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligible, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the night

Well my heart's runnin' 'round like a chicken with its head cut
off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat, gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin'
up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Whoa Nelly

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

But my heart's runnin' 'round like a chicken with its head cut
off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
The poor thing's blind as a bat, gettin' up, fallin' down,
gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

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

Well, my heart's runnin' 'round like a chicken with it's head
cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat, gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin'
up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty
