Action Replay

(album: Half Drunk Under A Full Moon - 2021)

Girl you have such tragic taste in men
Your predilection
For comedians
Your great addiction
Though they treat you well
They bring you brief glimpses of hell
What a bombshell

Maybe all these fools are on the payroll
In that case sleep well and let the good times roll
But understand it's just the simple slight of hand
On the other hand
One plus one makes three
I guess that's true to some degree
But only if you squint the right way
Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay

Girl you work your magic now and then
Without restriction
First your rebirth then your crucifixion
When you show your hand
Your services are in demand

Maybe all these fools are on the payroll
In that case sleep well and let the good times roll
But understand it's just the simple slight of hand
On the other hand
One plus one makes three
I guess that's true to some degree
But only if you squint the right way
Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay

You took a gorgeous risk
Oh, I won't deny the genius
Of those words that you sometimes twist
Got me round your little finger
Such a disagreeable business
Then you go all-out disco
Side-winding out of the picture
Gone instead, let's have a drink
It's no ordinary date
I've got nothing planned

On the other hand
One plus one makes three
I guess that's true to some degree
Like four plus four makes nine
Oh, it's been proven every time
But only if you squint the right way
Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay
