Outside the ca

You were pract

             
icing a magic 

        
trick
            
And my thought

             
s got rude, as

            
 you talked an

    
d chewed
            
On the last of

             
 your pick and

       
 mix

              
Said you-re mi

As you bit int

[Chorus 1]


Your past-time

s, consisted o

f the strange

And twisted and deranged

And I love that little game you had called

Crying lightni

And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

 (Strum Once)


[Verse]

              
The next time 

            
that I caught 

           
my own reflect

ion
            
It was on it's

         
 way to meet y

ou
            
Thinking of ex

            
cuses to postp

      
one
              
You never look

            
 like yourself

           
 from the side
            
But your profi

              
le could not h


ide
             
The fact you k

             
new I was appr

            
oaching your t

        
hrone

            
With folded ar

             
ms you occupie

              
d the bench li

    
ke toothache
             
Stood and puff

            
ed your chest 

              
out like you n

            
ever lost a wa

       
r
              
And though I t

            
ried so not to

             
 suffer the in

            
dignity of a r

 
eaction
            
There was no c

             
racks to grasp

             
 or gaps to cl

      
aw


[Chorus 2]

             
And your past-

          
times, consist

ed of the stra

nge
     
And twisted an

d deranged
            
And I hate tha

              
t little game 

                  
you had called
        
Crying lightni

ng
              
And how you li

            
ke to aggravat

Uninviting
    
But not half a

s impossible a

s everyone ass

umes
             
You are crying

 
 lightning

Oh you were re

bout some idio

And telling me

          
 about another
            
I was so sever

    
ely underwhelm

ed
             
I thought I mi

Straighten the

  
 rudder girl
     
And sail me up

 stairs
    
And go and fin

d somebody
      
Who cares

            
Well we might 

            
not be the per

fect partners
             
But tonight we

Your past-time
