about

Written simultaneously with “C’mon Angel”, this is pretty much the polar opposite in terms not only of style, but also in tone and feel. It’s just one of those quirky, peppy pop songs that I like so much. It’s a straightforward song, with chord voicings that are anything but straightforward.
When I asked my friend Jonathon to do vocals for this one, and he agreed, I had no idea just how much he would nail it! Thanks, Jon!

lyrics

1.
She draws me in and strings me out
Gives me something to feel bad about
But ooohhh...
That's nothing new
She ties me up and drags me down
She's my Cathy, I'm her clown
But oooohhh
She does tricks too

So I'll still follow her around

2.
Every step I take causes bones to break
I never knew my knees could quake so easy
It makes me queasy

But I'll still follow her around

- c -
BECAUSE SHE'S MAGNETIC, AND I'M PATHETIC
I GAVE IT AWAY, BUT I WON'T REGRET IT
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

-solo-

3.
I fall at her feet and she breaks my back
By stepping on, then stepping back around
I love that cracking sound

So I'll still follow her around

- c -
BECAUSE SHE'S MAGNETIC AND I'M PATHETIC
I GAVE IT AWAY BUT I WON'T REGRET IT
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
SHE TIES ME UP AND DRAGS ME DOWN
SHE'S MY CATHY AND I'M HER CLOWN
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.....
