She opens up and pulls you in
And that's a napkin on your chin
She's like an ornament on your hood
And does the mambo like a
piece of wood
Taking you under,
taking you under for the duration
The creamy liquid of your heart
The vital substance that was part
Of every beat and rhythm
It's come uncleared in the river
Taken you under
Taken you under the old sensation
How could you lose so many things
Your keys, your car, your diamond rings
The very things that gave you inspiration
How could you get sucked
up like that?
How could you get so fucked up?
And let her treat you like an aberration
It's a character
It's a character assassination
The monkey's paw and the powder tusk
The chicken's feet and the corn husks
The Spanish fly and the ginseng roots
The snake oil and the lotus shoots
Ran out of magic
Ran out of magic and stimulation
How could you lose yourself like that
Seem so pure and violent
Until she hit you up, oh
Small change and devastation
How could you allow yourself to rot?
Now you're vacant, that's your lot
Now you've got to stop this
Disintegration
Like a character
Like a character
Assassination
How
could you
drop so many balls
How could you blow so many cars
And take so many falls
and still keep on trippin'
How could you miss so many shots
How could you write so many plots
Wind up with a book
that's less than a gripping
You drop a hand like a dead leaf
Steal a heartbeat like a thief
Crush the bones beneath the skin
The marrow and the calcium
Now you're under
Now you're under investigation
For a character, for a character
A, A, A, A, A, Assassination
