reactionary girl

I can tell what youre 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 youre 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 its all done, youll be through with the world
I didnt 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 Id 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 its all done, youll be through with the world
I didnt know you were such, a reactionary girl
Tell her shes lucky
Tell her shes liked
Its only salt water
Keeps her up at night
Well a man loves a woman, thats what we do
We make false starts, broken hearts, and try to see it through
But now youre riding on your pendulum, immune to us all
Well baby, have a *** **ing 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 its all done, youll be through with the world
I didnt know you were such
A reactionary girl
