Woman Sawed In Half Lyrics

Woman Sawed In Half lyrics

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
