Charley Horse

[Verse 1]
You’re coming back from New York City
Been a year since you’ve been gone
Picked my​ outfit out already
I’ll put my favorite lipstick on
So when you tell me about all the bands you’ve seen
I’ll smile like a debutante and show my crooked teeth

[Verse 2]
You’re coming back from New York City
Been a long and lonely year
Practice talking, talking to myself into the mirror
And if I told you about all the boys I’ve seen
You’re coming home from New York
And we both know what that means

[Chorus]
I need a way to get away
My charley horse won’t win this race
You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe

[Verse 3]
I’ve got an alien inside me
Oh it’s growing day by day
I tried to hide it, tried to fight but it won’t go away
And if I told you of this alien disease
You’re coming home from New York
And we both know what that means

[Chorus]
I need a way to get away
My charley horse won’t win this race
You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
You push me back into the farthest corner of my brain
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe

[Outro]
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe?
Why did you come back babe
