Bait And Switch Lyrics - Port Of Morrow - The Shins

I finally had all my ducks in a row 

Peace and quiet by means of subtraction 

How she got in, I'm not sure that I know 

But two weeks on and my spine was in traction, my eyes in a basket 

My gut and my heart are so out of phase 

And that kind of girl, she ain't nobody's daughter 

I'm just not used to these powerful waves 

She's shining the brass and I'm taking on water 

What am I to do now?

I call on a beautiful witch with a moral compass 

Bait and switch 

Hide from my psychic derailleur 

Drive this car to the sea 

Spend the night as high as I can in a towering hemlock 

But it's no use. I can always be found 

A creature of habit has no real protection 

I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down 

She sees it's a lie on closer inspection 

Like everyone else does 

Been rubbing a terrible charm 

Holding smoke in my arms 

I'm just a simple man, cursed with an honest heart 

Watch her go and tear it all apart
