Kelly the insistor

Your brother is a blister

I'll be had if I'm in your dress tonight

When you go and you're all alone

Are you still afraid of home

Do you lie in bed with fright

Your father said I lost her

Your brother said I fought her

But I stood still and I'm in your arms tonight

And when you rush I'll call your name

Like Harvard Square holds all inane

And don't you know I'll be your badger

And don't be terse and don't be shy

Just hug my lips and say good lies

And know that I will be your bail bond

Mickey the ol' lithper

Said hey there hey mister

My cold razor's edge will meet you in the light

When you go and you're on stage

Is your heart still filled with rage?

Do you still fight for lover's rights?

Challenge is for lovers

But I run my feet hurt

So I'll stay here and fight for lover's rights

And when you rush I'll call your name

Like Harvard Square holds all inane

And don't you know I'll be your badger

And don't be terse and don't be shy

Just hug my lips and say good lies

And know that I will be your bail bond

Oh Kelly don't you go

Kelly don't you go

Kelly don't you go

I want you to know

That I've been trying, I've been lying

I've been stealing, I've been hiding

I will meet you in the grave

Kelly, Kelly, it's not your right

To be cheating, fighting and starting life

When my head and hands are tied to you so tight

Oh Kelly just tell me one more thing

Is it mine or is it some other ring

That you wear as we lie in bed tonight?

And Kelly, who's the logger?

Oh, Kelly, who's the logger?

Oh Kelly, who's the logger who's trees were felled with might?

And Kelly, hold your water

Oh Kelly, hold your water

Oh Kelly, Kelly, hold your water tight

And when you rush I'll call your name

Like Harvard Square holds all inane

And don't you know I'll be your badger

And don't be terse and don't be shy

Just hug my lips and say goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
