Elvis Costello, The Roots - (She Might Be A) Grenade

She Might Be A GRENADE
She’s pulling out the pin
That lets her hair fall down
She’s pulling out the pin
She shakes her head
And it goes tumbling
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it off her face
Let me find the words then say them
Like a some softly whispered Amen
But she starts to pull away
And the lights begin to dim
Is she thinking of me
Or is she thinking of him
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s slipping off the hook
Unbuttoning her dress
She’s slipping off the hook
There’s just enough to make some man a mess
She tears away the veil
With her fingernails
She came out high and kicking
While the band played Hey Good Looking
Do you hear something ticking
Did somebody tell her she could really be redeemed
And could she actually be as desperate as she seems
She’s tearing at the seams
She’s going to extremes
Nobody told her it was a sin
So she’s pulling out the pin
She’s taping up her hands just like a boxer will
And they started laughing
But if looks could kill
She’d take them down right now
She’s covering her mouth
With some unholy vow
There’s nothing more to say
This is her wedding day
Full of shattered glass and mayhem
Not some softly whispered Amen
While the shock announcement dawns
And the smoke begins to thin
As the world without ends
And the next one begins
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
She Might Be A GRENADE
She’s pulling out the pin
That lets her hair fall down
She’s pulling out the pin
She shakes her head
And it goes tumbling
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it off her face
Let me find the words then say them
Like a some softly whispered Amen
But she starts to pull away
And the lights begin to dim
Is she thinking of me
Or is she thinking of him
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s slipping off the hook
Unbuttoning her dress
She’s slipping off the hook
There’s just enough to make some man a mess
She tears away the veil
With her fingernails
She came out high and kicking
While the band played Hey Good Looking
Do you hear something ticking
Did somebody tell her she could really be redeemed
And could she actually be as desperate as she seems
She’s tearing at the seams
She’s going to extremes
Nobody told her it was a sin
So she’s pulling out the pin
She’s taping up her hands just like a boxer will
And they started laughing
But if looks could kill
She’d take them down right now
She’s covering her mouth
With some unholy vow
There’s nothing more to say
This is her wedding day
Full of shattered glass and mayhem
Not some softly whispered Amen
While the shock announcement dawns
And the smoke begins to thin
As the world without ends
And the next one begins
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s pulling out the pin
