Woman Sawed In Half Lyrics

 She was a woman sawed in half 
 It was done by a bad magician 
 There was a point at which she just had to laugh 
 You could appreciate her position 
   
 Her legs in one way, and her head another 
 She just kept thinking about walking away 
 They tried to put her back together underneath the cover 
 But her heart kept getting in, getting in the way 
   
 She was a woman sawed in half 
 Lets cut to the chase, love, this was showtime 
 And he was sweating bullets, and walking on glass 
 Somewhere between the evening news and tomorrow's headline 
 (Buzz awhile..) 
   
 She was a woman sawed in half 
 It was done by a bad magician 
 Yeah, it was a clear cut thing, no, you didn't have to ask 
 She was gonna have to make her own decisions 
   
 Her legs got up and walked away, and her head came rolling 
 Oh, the room was painted black night, and turning dayglow 
 She wound up in two places at once, her heart was swollen 
 He played his musical saw in the streets of San Diego 
   
 Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 
 Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 
 Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 
 Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 
   
 She was a woman sawed in half, her legs in Tijuana 
 She was a bodyless head and trapeze artist in a circus in Bombay 
 Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna 
   
 Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way 
 She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth, or so they say 
   
 REPEAT VERSE
