Suddenly There Is a Tidal Wave The Magnetic Fields (Ft. Susan Anway)

[Verse 1: Susan Anway]
You held me upside-down
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
Television, like wine
And cigarettes like grains of sand
And raspberry schnapps like a thousand sunsets

[Chorus]
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea

[Verse 2]
There were probably birds
Outside our little room
I don't remember anything but you
We must have been the butt
Of all the jokes in the world
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking

[Chorus] (x2)
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
