Lyrics
Practical (C) 2007 Ken Kahn
I was a man of practicality
Play by the numbers, skin in the game
Your world broke in-- A simple mystery
In the middle of the sting you called my name
Down at the heels at Twenty-First and Strange
You got my number, you bit my hand
You wiped me out and took me in the rain
In the middle of the storm, a different man
Can't you feel how hard it is for me
To believe something that can't be found
Watch that magic in your eyes
Something I can't analyze
And I feel things breaking down
Don't say to me the earth moved for you, babe
I'm not a fool - was already spinning
You spiked my drink, but that's not what has changed.
You're a riddle that I cannot explain
"Don't think so much," you whisper in my ear
"Go with the feeling, give up the game."
I stand outside apartment thirty three
In the middle of the night, howling your name.
Can't you feel how hard it is for me
To believe something that can't be found
Check that magic in your eyes
Something I can't analyze
And I feel I'm breaking down
