They Might Be Giants Lucky Ball And Chain Lyrics

I lost my lucky ball and chain
And now she's four years gone
Just five feet tall and sick of me
And all my rattling on
She threw away her baby-doll
I held on to my pride
But I was younng and foolish then
I feel old and foolish now
Confidentially
She never called me baby-doll
Confidentially
I never had much pride
But now I rock a bar stool
and I drink for two
Just pondering this time bomb in my mind
CHORUS
She walked away from a happy man
I thought I was so cool
I just stood there whistling
"There goes the bride"
As she walked out the door
I could shake my tiny fist And swear I wasn't wrong
But what's the sense in arguing
When you're all alone?
Sure as you can't steer a train
You can't change your fate
When she told me of that day
I knew I'd lost my home
Confidentially
I never told you of her charms
Confidentially
We never had a home
But this railroad apartment
Was the perfect place
When she'd sit and hold me in her arms
I lost my lucky ball and chain
And now she's four years gone
Just five feet tall and sick of me
And all my rattling on
CHORUS
