The Bolter
By all accounts she almost drowned
- By all accounts she almost drowned
- When she was six in frigid water
- And I can confirm she made
- A curious child ever reviled
- By everyone except her own father
- With a quite bewitching face
- Splendidly selfish charmingly helpless
- Excellent fun till you get to know her
- Then she runs like it's a race
- Behind her back her best mates laughed
- And they nicknamed her The Bolter
- Started with a kiss
- Oh we must stop meeting like this
- But it always ends up with a town car speeding
- Out the drive one evening
- Ended with the slam of a door
- Then he'll call her a whore
- Wish he wouldn't be sore
- But as she was leaving
- It felt like breathing
- All her maniac lives
- Flashed before her eyes
- It feels like the time
- She fell through the ice
- Then came out alive
- He was a cad wanted her bad
- Just like any good trophy hunter
- And she liked the way it tastes
- Taming a bear making him care
- Watching him jump then pulling him under
- And at first blush this is fate
- When it's all roses portrait poses
- Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
- What a charming Saturday
- That's when she sees the littlest leaks
- Down in the floorboards
- And she just knows
- She must bolt
- Started with a kiss
- Oh we must stop meeting like this
- But it always ends up with a town car speeding
- Out the drive one evening
- Ended with the slam of a door
- Then he'll call her a whore
- Wish he wouldn't be sore
- But as she was leaving
- It felt like breathing
- All her maniac lives
- Flashed before her eyes
- It feels like the time
- She fell through the ice
- Then came out alive
- She's been many places with
- Men of many faces
- First they're off to the races
- And she's laughing drawin' aces
- But none of it is changin'
- That the chariot is waitin'
- Hearts are hers for the breakin'
- There's escape in escaping
- Started with a kiss
- Oh we must stop meeting like this
- But it always ends with a town car speeding
- Out the drive one evenin'
- Ended with the slam of a door
- But she's got the best stories
- You can be sure
- That as she was leaving
- It felt like freedom
- All her maniac lives
- Flashed before her eyes
- And she realized
- It feels like the time
- She fell through the ice
- Then came out alive
