lyrics

I was riding high out on the
Sunrise side of twenty-five
I was a long-haired careless shell of a man

She stabbed me square in the back
With her black magic
She was heavy as a hair-metal band

What do her, hurricanes, and tornadoes
Have in common?
They obliterate what stands in their way

She called me up to her office to talk
I was too tongue twisted to know what to say

I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my darling how you cut me down
I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my god how you cut me down
Oh my god

I was flying solo up the sweet east coast
She put her hand up
Stopped me dead on my tracks
I was taking no for an answer left and right
She told me say yes and don’t ever go back

Easy to say I was taken by the way
She had a tolerance for my heart rate
Either way I fastened my seatbelt
And leaned way back
I put my fingers to the wind and relaxed

I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my darling how you cut me down
I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my god, oh my god how you cut me down

I was posted up outside the Mr. Mikes
Sipping and smoking with the boys
Under the flickering lights
She was talking dirt with her girls
Twisting and flirting with her
Fake eyelashes and perfectly twirled curls

I was contemplating the ideal conversation
Where I came off like a renaissance man
She was reading me more like a coffee table magazine
She’d already been keen to my plan

And I was…

I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my darling how you cut me down
I was ten feet tall on the day we met and
Oh my god, oh my god how you cut me down
