Big Thief - Once a Buncha Times

{verse 1}
Once a buncha times i took it too hard
Everything you told me i took it apart
I pulled you in and pushed you out right from the start
I was leaving before i'd arrived

{verse 2}
Eyes are magnetic, that moldavite flame
Stopping the traffic, all six lanes
You're callin' me baby, barely sayin' my name
I was leaving before i'd arrived

{chorus}
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

{verse 3}
On a tuesday in august, i was holdin' your hand
By wednesday in august, i was playin' with my band
Then thursday in august, i was makin' a plan
Thеn i shut like a shuttered friday

{verse 4}
Your lips arе electric like lightning and rain
Your tastes are eclectic, multigrain
You pull on my shoestrings and you open my brain
But i was leaving before i'd arrived

{chorus}
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

{verse 5}
We could talk for hours, i could buy you flowers
We could switch off in the movies, we could switch off in showers
We can turn it up (up), turn it down (down), watch austin powers
But i was leaving before i'd arrived

{verse 6}
I can take small thing, i'm pretty good at...
I'm fairly good at takin' a small thing and blowin' it up real big
I couldn't fit it in my wallet, i couldn't fit it in my rig
I can twist it in, twist it out, can really dig
About leavin' before i'd arrived

{chorus}
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance

{verse 7}
You believe in me some, you believe in me a lot
You see all the good things i seem to've forgot
You can cheer me up and calm me down, you know the spot
You say "honey won't you stay a little while?"

{verse 8}
You can make me smile just by lookin' around
You take me to the invisible lost and found
Where i can find a sweater or an old love letter
About leaving before i'd arrived

{verse 9}
We can flapjack a nickel, pancake a dime
Waffle a tickle, french toast wine
We can take in bacon, sunshine
Tee off with a coffee and a tan

{chorus}
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance
Half a margarita, have a little dance
Let's fine dine the demons and give peace a chance
I say lets fine dine the demons and save all the ants
