Her Royal Fisticuffs

(Album: Cup Of Sand - 2003)

Have you been caught inside the wall
With all your fingers bleeding?
Pulling roses from the garden without asking
Pissing down the etiquette book
Well I just had to take a look
You thought you'd sweet talk your way out of this one

Her Royal Fisticuffs
Oh man, don't tick her off!
Just when you think you're tough
A host of killer monkeys and sloths
This may be a joke
But it may be a ride you're already on

Just when it looked as though your ship would finally land
Well she caught you with your teeth in the heel of your hand
You thought your jokes were pretty rich
But now you're running from the switch
That she's swinging through the air behind you

Her Royal Fisticuffs
Oh man, don't take her on!
Just when you think you're tough
A host of killer puppies and swans
This may be a joke
But it may be a ride you're already on

You have your hands over your ears but I think you really hear
You have your hands over your lids but I really think you live
You pretend not to speak but your lips have sprung a leak
