Charley Horse Lyrics

You're coming back from new york city

Been a year since you've been gone

Picked my outfit out already

I'll put my favorite lipstick on

So when you tell me about all the bands you've seen

I'll smile like a debutante and show my crooked teeth

You're coming back from new york city

Been a long and lonely year

I practice talking, talking to myself into the mirror

And if I tell you about all the boys I've seen

You're coming back from new york

and we both know what that means

I need a way to get away

My charley horse won't win this race

You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain

Why did you come back babe?

Why did you come back babe?

I've got an alien inside me

oh it's growing day by day

I tried to hide it, tried to fight but it won't go away

And if I told you of this alien disease

Well you're coming back from new york

and we both know what that means

I need a way to get away

My charley horse won't win this race

You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain

Why did you come back babe?

Why did you come back babe?

Doot doot doot

Doot doot doot

You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain

Why did you come back babe?

Why did you come back babe?

Why did you come back babe?
