| 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
