Reactionary Girl Lyrics
I can tell what you're ready to do
You got your bags all packed and your face painted blue
Your lifeline is a pendulum, swingin' high and low
Oh, but now you're three thousand miles from the softest blow
'Cause nothing that I do, can stop her swinging
As far as she can, with her ears still ringing
Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world
I didn't know you were such, a reactionary girl
Her eyes became restless and her mouth got tense
She must have been ready to begin a new experience
I was waiting for the rain to fall but the clouds just passed on by
Now I know I'd only been a fool to try
'Cause nothing that I do, can stop her swinging
As far as she can, with her ears still ringing
Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world
I didn't know you were such, a reactionary girl
Tell her she's lucky
Tell her she's liked
It's only salt water
Keeps her up at night
Well a man loves a woman, that's what we do
We make false starts, broken hearts, and try to see it through
But now you're riding on your pendulum, immune to us all
Well baby, have a bitching summer, see ya next fall 'cause

Nothing that I do, can stop her swinging
As far as she can, with her ears still ringing
Before it's all done, you'll be through with the world
I didn't know you were such
A reactionary girl
A reactionary girl
A reactionary girl
