lyrics

Sometimes it’s a problem when she looks beyond
And sees the clouds waving above like magic wands
The spell they cast ain’t the spell they should
All the spells, Ms. understood

A change in a tone of voice
She’ll dance for a chance and she’ll grope for a choice
On the radio the static sure sounds good
All the songs, Ms. understood

And despite the short words that cut into bone
Despite the long knives that we sharpen on stone
She’s managed to stand just where she stood
Hands on her hips, Ms. Understood

Days turn over one wheel at a time
Nights roll under street lights and stop signs
The world burns just like a piece of wood
All the fires, Ms. Understood
Smoke in her eye’s, Ms. Understood
And the winner is Ms. Understood
