lyrics:
once a buncha times I took it to heart
everything you told me I took it apart 
I pulled you in, pushed you out right from the start
I was leaving before I’d arrived

eyes magnetic, that moldavite flame
stopping the traffic, all six lanes
calling me baby, barely sayin’ my name
i was leaving before I’d arrived

half a margarita
have a little dance
let’s’ fine dine the demons
and give peace a chance

on a tuesday in August I was holding your hand
wednesday in August I was playin’ with my band
thursday in August I was makin’ a plan 
then I shut like a shutter Friday

your lips are electric like lightning and rain
your tastes are eclectic, multigrain
you pull on my shoestrings and you open my bain 
but I was leaving before I’d arrived

half a margarita
have a little dance
let’s fine dine the demons
and give peace a chance

we could talk for hours, I could buy you flowers
we could switch off in movies and switch off in showers
we can turn it up, turn it down, watch Austin Powers
i was leaving before I’d arrived

i can take a small thing, blow it up real big
couldn’t fit it in my wallet, couldn’t fit it in my rig
i can twist it out and twist it in, I can really dig
about leaving before I arrive

half a margarita 
have a little dance
let’s fine dine the demons
and give peace a chance

you believe in me some, you believe in me a lot 
you see all the good stuff I seem to have forgot 
you can cheer me up, calm me down, you know the spot
you say “Honey, won’t you stay a little while”

and you can make me smile just by looking around 
you take me to the invisible lost and found 
where I can find a sweater, or an old love letter
about leaving before I arrived

half a margarita
have a little dance
let’s fine dine the demons
and give peace a chance

we can pancake a nickel, we can flapjack a dime
we can waffle a tickle, french toast wine
we can take in bacon, in sunshine
tee off with a coffee and a tan

half a margarita
have a little dance
let’s fine dine the demons
and give peace a chance
let’s fine dine the demons
and save all the ants
