lyrics
On the train to Amsterdam she turned and looked me in the eye
Blue and fluid - moving to and fro
She said sh had to make a stop
Said she had to make a buy
Just for a moment
A little taste for home
Put the package in a box
Put the box inside my bag
No one will notice - no one will ever know
Took the wrong-way taxi cab out to Schiphol just in time
For the boarding of a triple-seven home
I really can’t explain
‘Cause I don’t understand
I got on board that plane
With the contraband
I must have been insane
Oh I’m freakin’ out
She bends my brain like a Uri Geller spoon
She falls into another nap
Magazine upon her lap
How can she do this knowing what she knows?
My heart is beating in my chest
Now I’m hoping for the best
“No I’m not nervous. I’m laughing at the show”
I really need a drink
“Miss, can you bring me one?”
I’m clarely on the brink
“Yeah, a Coke and rum”
I’m daring not to think
Yeah, I’m freaking out
She bends my brain like a Uri Geller spoon
And she melts my heart like a Dali clock at noon
She bends my brain like a Uri Geller spoon
And she bends me...
And upends me...
And offends me...
Touched the ground at MIA
Now I’m wishing it away
Confess to nothing - blame it on the girl
They find the box inside a bag
She turns a wink, a smile, a shag
Before you know it we’re on a shuttle bus to Alton Road
“I nearly lost my life”
“Yeah, I’m crazy like that”
“All that pain and strife”
“But it’s over now”
“Would you be my wife?”
“Oh, don’t be absurd...”
She bends my brain like a Uri Geller spoon
And she melts my heart like a Dali clock at noon
She bends my brain
And melts my heart
She bends my brain like a Uri Geller spoon
Blue and fluid - moving to and fro
She said sh had to make a stop
Said she had to make a buy
Just for a moment
A little taste for home
Put the package in a box
Put the box inside my bag
No one will notice - no one will ever know
Took the wrong-way taxi cab out to Schiphol just in time
For the boarding of a triple-seven home
I really can’t explain
‘Cause I don’t understand

Oh I’m freakin’ out
