Strange Torpedo - Lucy Dacus

You got yourself a bunch of bad habits

Not hard to see that love is a weakness

Seems to me, the way you understand it

Is that you’re never gonna make it happen

I get smoke in my eyes every time I try

To look you in the eye and

Do I even know what your face looks like

Or just the cloud of smoke in its place?

I’m trying to tell you something you might’ve heard before

You got a dollar in your pocket

You got a pebble in your sock and

You’ve got a mind of gold you keep secret

I gotta hope that one day you’ll use it

I get tongue-tied every time I try

To tell you what I think is right

'Cause I think it’s wrong when you sit around

Looking like a toy in the lost and found

I am telling you something you might’ve heard before

And forgot on the spot

Oh whoa oh, oh whoa

Oh whoa oh, oh whoa

You’re a strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

And I’ll play the fool, and I’ll play the fool

I see the blood rushing to your head

Your words are slurred and your cheeks are red

You’d do anything to stop pretending

Can’t have regrets if you can’t remember them

You are one of a kind, I cannot lie

You’re wild when your body’s in overdrive

And I’m more surprised every time you’re alive

When I check for your breath in the morning

You’re a strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

And I’ll play the fool, and I’ll play the fool

Oh whoa oh, oh whoa

Oh whoa oh, oh whoa

I thought you’d hit rock bottom

But I’m starting to think that it doesn’t exist

'Cause you’ve been falling for so long

And you haven’t hit anything solid yet

I thought you’d hit rock bottom

But I’m starting to think that it doesn’t exist

'Cause you’ve been falling for so long

And you haven’t hit anything solid yet

Oh whoa oh, oh whoa

You’re a strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

Strange torpedo on the loose

And I’ll play the fool, and I’ll play the fool, and I’ll play the fool
