Chicken With its Head Cut Off (1999) - The Magnetic Fields
Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligible and cute as Cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable and free for the night
Well, my heart's running round
Like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard
falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
(Whoa, 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
Well, my heart's running round
Like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard
falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting 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
Let's just be lovers...
Well, my heart's running round
Like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard
falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
(It ain't pretty)
