John Hiatt - Something Happens

I get jumpy
Want to step on the gas
Drive right out of
This place fast
She says, "Red light,
I'll take those keys."
Out of my mind and
On my knees

[Chorus:]
Something happens
And I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future
Out of her eyes
Something happens
And never for sure
If I could name this sickness
I'd be cured
I'd be cured

She's long distance
And it's a grind
Always static
On that line
Tear the phone out
From the wall
But in my head I
Get that call

[Chorus]

She don't want to talk
She don't want to talk to me
She just want to look
She just want to look through me

It's a famine
Or it's a feast
Who's that beauty?
Who's that beast
Threatening murder
Or happiness?
And if I do it
Will I confess?

[Chorus]
