The Magnetic Fields - A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off lyrics

Eligible, not too stupid

Intelligiable, and cute as cupid

Knowledgeable, but not always right

Salvageable, and free for the night

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off

All around the barn yard falling in and out of love

Poor thing's blind as a bat

Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Woah Nelly

My wife doesn't understand me

Many dozens, hope to land me

I'm for free love

And I'm in free fall

This could be love

Or nothing at all

But my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off

All around the barn yard falling in and out of love

Poor thing's blind as a bat

Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night

Or electric eels under the covers

We don't have to be

Anything quite so unreal

Lets just be lovers

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off

All around the barn yard falling in and out of love

Poor thing's blind as a bat

Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up

Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty
