woman sawed in half

Singer: hiatt, john

she was a woman sawed in half

it was done by a bad magician

there was a point at which she just had to laugh

you could appreciate her position

her legs in one way

and her head another

she just kept thinking about walking away

they tried to put her back together underneath the cover

but her heart kept getting in

getting in the way

she was a woman sawed in half

lets cut to the chase

love

this was showtime

and he was sweating bullets

and walking on glass

somewhere between the evening news and tomorrow's headline

she was a woman sawed in half

it was done by a bad magician

yeah

it was a clear cut thing

no

you didn't have to ask

she was gonna have to make her own decisions

her legs got up and walked away

and her head came rolling

oh

the room was painted black night

and turning dayglow

she wound up in two places at once

her heart was swollen

he played his musical saw in the streets of san diego

she was a woman sawed in half

her legs in tijuana

she was a bodyless head and trapeze artist in a circus in bombay

now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna

yeah

some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way

she holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth

or so they say
