my racing thoughts

Jack's Mannequin

Sheââ?¬â?¢s a black cat
Hanging ââ?¬Ë?round my doorstep
Iââ?¬â?¢ll need all day tomorrow
To recover from today
I was boxing with my shadow
At a stoplight when the clocks changed
It was midnight I was mixed up
When she called to drag the lake
I think Iââ?¬â?¢m running short on inspiration
Sheââ?¬â?¢s running long on borrowed time

We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor
She takes her shots
Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girls can read my racing thoughts
My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts

So Iââ?¬â?¢ll try to keep her steady now
But steadyââ?¬â?¢s not her strong suit
I was raised going to church
But couldnââ?¬â?¢t practice what they preached
So Iââ?¬â?¢m hiring a Dj
For the eve of our destruction
It was midnight I was mixed up
When she found me on the beach

I think Iââ?¬â?¢m running low on inspiration
Sheââ?¬â?¢s running long on borrowed time

We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor
She takes her shots
Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girls can read my racing thoughts
My racing thoughts
