crazy Kat

I found her in the shade where wild weeds grow,
With lightning in her heart and a radiant glow.
She’s a puzzle, beads from a kaleidoscope,
A little bit broken, but sharper than hope.
Man, she’s too crazy for crazy stuff,
So why you tellin’ me:

Maybe she’s getting close to you,
Just to put you in the grave?
She’s gonna kill you someday, I just know.
Watch your back, don’t fall asleep.
I see her with a blade in the dark so deep,
Your heart pinned between her fingers, cut and weak.
Don’t close your eyes, don’t let it slide,
She’s a heartbreaker—and that’s the mild.

Dude, I’ve seen some things, I’ve walked the line,
Once grabbed a gun, almost crossed the borderline.
Drank a beer, then hung it back,
Next day met crazy Kat.
Wanted to wreck a mind, now we’re a pair,
Wreckin’ each other—so why you care?

Maybe she’s getting close to you,
Just to put you in the grave?
She’s gonna kill you someday, I just know.
Watch your back, don’t fall asleep.
I see her with a blade in the dark so deep,
Your heart pinned between her fingers, cut and weak.
Don’t close your eyes, don’t let it slide,
She’s a heartbreaker—and that’s the mild.

So raise a glass to my strange girl, queen of night,
Burnt-yellow hair and a thirst for a fight.
She’s my strange girl, one of a kind,
And hey, man, I’ll keep her in line.
But if she ever wants to cross that mark, I’ll take her wrist,
And you’ll regret you told me, not her, this:

Maybe he’s getting close to you,
Just to put you in the grave?
He’s gonna kill you someday, I just know.
Watch your back, don’t fall asleep.
I see him with a blade in the dark so deep,
Your heart pinned between her fingers, cut and weak.
Don’t close your eyes, don’t let it slide,
He’s a heartbreaker—and that’s the mild.
