a chicken with its head cut off

Singer:magnetic fields, the

eligible

not too stupid

intelligable and cute as cupid

knowledgable but not always right

salvageable and free for the night

well

my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

all around the barnyard

falling in and out of love

poor thing's blind as a bat

getting up

falling down

getting up

who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

woah

nelly!

my wife doesn't understand me

many dozens hope to land me

i'm for free love and i'm in free fall

this could be love or nothing at all

but my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

all around the barnyard

falling in and out of love

the poor thing's blind as a bat

getting up

falling down

getting up

who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

we don't have to be stars exploding in the night

or electric eels under the covers

we don't have to be anything quite so unreal

let's just be lovers

well

my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off

all around the barnyard

falling in and out of love

the poor thing's blind as a bat

getting up

falling down

getting up

who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

it ain't pretty
