mad woman - the long pond studio sessions

What did you think I'd say to that?

Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?

They strike to kill, and you know I will

You know I will

What do you sing on your drive home?

Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?

Does she smile?

Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy

What about that?

And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that

And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out

And you'll find something to wrap your noose around

And there's nothing like a mad woman

Now I breathe flames each time I talk

My cannons all firin' at your yacht

They say, "Move on," but you know I won't

And women like hunting witches too

Doing your dirtiest work for you

It's obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy

What about that?

And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that

And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out

And you'll find something to wrap your noose around

And there's nothing like a mad woman

I'm taking my time, taking my time

'Cause you took everything from me

Watching you climb, watching you climb

Over people like me

The master of spin has a couple side flings

Good wives always know

She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but

No one likes a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

You made her like that
