The Rope Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when shes in and when
She goes out
Well there aint nothing to guess about
She covers her ears when I play my guitar
She runs away but not very far
Just push a button - retractable cord
I pull her back when I get bored
One word from her and shed be free
But shes exactly where she wants to be
Magnetic madonna she glows in the night
Reciprocal pull, I flow to her light
Woman I am bound to you
But what do I want to do?
Woman what do I want?
