When She Goes Down

from En Absynthia by The Extraordinary Contraptions

/

about

Remastered from the single version.

lyrics

She's got this metallic look in her eyes
As though she were made of something different than you and I
It's this edge that makes her different
It's this edge that gets her into trouble and makes her feel so vulnerable

When she gets down, hey
There's nothing you or I can do, yeah

I try so hard to take care of her and find she's taking care of me instead
Now what do you say about that
Still I find there's something unpredictable, she's got me on my toes
Oh, she's got me on the edge of my seat

When she gets down, hey
There's nothing you or I can do, yeah

She's got me under her spell, I'm readily admitting this now, ooh
I don't need to be abused and I don't need amusement
I only need her fantastic way to smile -

She's so perfect, and it's so obvious
But I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Should I try to change her, can I even affect her
I'm not sure that I fit in my own shoes

When she gets down, hey
There's nothing you and I can do, yeah
