Rarely (if ever) performed live, but an interesting experiment in vaguely folky melodies and harmonized lead guitars nonetheless. A composite of various screwed-up women that I have and have not slept with.

lyrics

she'll strike your world like a bolt from the blue
with no thoughts of avoiding eye contact with you
indiscrete words in an indiscrete flow
you did not need to hear but you wanted to know
just as you're wondering what next occurs
you discover your leg's come in contact with hers
and after you've talked to her for a while
she will tell you she's happily married
and leave with a smile

hard to believe that she isn't ashamed
of the deeds that she's done and the names that she's named
she's had four children by four different men
if her tubes weren't tied, bet it'd happen again
eyeing the exits, you nonetheless stay
like a crash on the freeway, you can't look away
and after you've talked to her for a while
she will tell you she's happily married
and leave with a smile

you take her home to your bachelor pad
and you know that she's no good but you want her bad
very strange bedfellows under the sheets
holding nothing in common but animal heat
all is nirvana until you are spent
then you wonder where all of your interest went
after you've laid next to her for a while
she will tell you she's happily married
and leave with a smile

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records
