Oh, you wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
Yeah, you tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
And hit me with a hand of broken nails

It's time to get your suit on
You need to keep your gun drawn
We're all expecting you
The camera frames the view
They're playing your theme song
Now you're the new James Bond

And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

A case of gone is all she carried
When she got on the Jamestown ferry
And it's not a hot day in January
Like she'd said it'd be
If she ever left me
