Woman Sawed In Half Lyrics - John Hiatt

She was a woman sawed in half 

It was done by a bad magician 

There was a point at which she just had to laugh 

You could appreciate her position 

Her legs in one way, and her head another 

She just kept thinking about walking away 

They tried to put her back together underneath the cover 

But her heart kept getting in, getting in the way 

She was a woman sawed in half 

Lets cut to the chase, love, this was showtime 

And he was sweating bullets, and walking on glass 

Somewhere between the evening news and tomorrow's headline 

(Buzz awhile.)

She was a woman sawed in half 

It was done by a bad magician 

Yeah, it was a clear cut thing, no, you didn't have to ask 

She was gonna have to make her own decisions 

Her legs got up and walked away, and her head came rolling 

Oh, the room was painted black night, and turning dayglow 

She wound up in two places at once, her heart was swollen 

He played his musical saw in the streets of San Diego 

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

She was a woman sawed in half, her legs in Tijuana 

She was a bodyless head and trapeze artist in a circus in Bombay 

Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna 

Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way 

She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth, or so they say 

REPEAT VERSE
