She had a banana tree   Got Cds in the mail for free   She'd bruise so easily    My April fresh   And I can remember what my biology professor said   Said   About the praying mantis who found his love    But lost his head   I told you all about surgery   How there's metal where my back should be   And now the pain and I are at constant odds   Since I became a walking lightning rod      I bit off more than I could chew      I saw you in the computer lab   And felt as if my heart was stabbed   But a heart is not the badge of love   It's just a twisted boxing glove   And to think that we get so intense    Trying to analyze a coincidence   When it's bad timing that    That's responsible for most events   I told you all about surgery   How there's metal where my back should be   And now the pain and I are at constant odds   Since I became a walking lightning rod      I bit off more than I could chew
