The Kelly Song Collective
Between A Rock And You
I’d rather burn on a Sahara dune
Or drown in Indian blue
‘Cause it’s kinder on a frozen mountain
Than between a rock and you
Ever since the first chapter
In warm primordial ooze
Man has a loved his women
Even more than cars and booze
Chasing them around house
Around the village square
Cross borders and cross oceans
Even when they have no prayer
I can’t define obsession
Seems it’s basic to the core
Like caribou migration
And stronger than a war
Is it born within the skull
Or somewhere further south
Where latitudes are tropical
And I love you bites your mouth
I think we’ve lost direction
We broke our GPS
Sometimes things just don’t work out
And you’re cleaning up the mess
But you can’t catch a dying heart
From sneezing on your mate
Or going out without your coat
It takes a certain hate
And that one special woman
You call Mrs. Right
Has crafted a persona
Bookended with smite
So listen to this chorus
Before you share your heart
For this is not a warning
Just giving a head start
