Character Assassination Lyrics by Graham Parker

Character Assassination Lyrics

    pre>doo doo etc

    Am
    She opens up and pulls you in, dabs a napkin on your chin
    Em
    She's like an ornament on a hood, does the mambo like a piece of wood
    Am
    Taking you under, taking you under, for the duration

    The creamy liquid of your heart the vital substance that was part
    Of every beat and rhythm that has come unglued and riven
    Taking you under, taking you under, beyond sensation

    Em
    How could you lose so many things your keys your car your diamond rings?
    Am
    The very things that gave you inspiration
    Em
    How could you get sucked up like that how could you get so fucked up
    Am
    And let her treat you like an aberration
    Em am
    It's a character, character assassination

    The monkey's paw and the powdered tusks the chicken feet and the corn husk em
    The spanish fly and the ginseng root the snake oil and the lotus shoot am
    Ran out of magic, ran out of magic and stimulation

    How could you lose yourself like that? it seemed so pure and violent
    Until she hit you up for small change and devastation
    How could you allow yourself to rot? now you're vacant that's your lot
    Now you've got to stop this disintegration
    Like a character character assassination

    Intro doo doos

    How could you drops so many balls? how could you blow so many calls?
    And take so many falls and still keep on tripping
    How could you miss so many shots? how could you write so many plots?
    And wind up with a book that's less than gripping

    You drop her hand like a dead leaf steal her heartbeat like a thief
    Crush the bones beneath her skin the marrow and the calcium
    Now you're under, now you're under investigation
    For a character, character assassination

    Doo doos, fade /pre>
