Lyrics
O, Dana
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'd rather shoot a woman than a man
I worry whether this is my last life
And girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it
O Dana
O Dana, come on
I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
We do our goo-goo coos
But we know
Overboard and down
And strung out twice
O Dana
O Dana, come on
We seldom know what things are
Two illusions go very far
O Dana
O Dana, come on
I got busted along the bridge
They rounded up every soul
Now I'm on the East Side
She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"
She's not afraid to take a chance
O Dana
O Dana, come on
She's got a magic wand
That says play with yourself before other ones
O Dana
O Dana, come on
