about

A semi-true story about a girlfriend I met on Craigslist.

lyrics

I once met a girl on craigslist
Not a good idea
I once met a girl on craigslist
Wished that I could disappear
A year and a half with a hole in my head
Hole in my heart!
She could pick a good fight!
And not just when you think it would be
She'd come right out in the middle of the night

Ooooh, shut it down!
Ooooh, shut it down!

I once met a girl with a hole in her heart
She hated her father like no one had ever seen before
I once met a girl with a hole in her head
A hole in her head, but somehow she survived
Angels look and feel so serene
But look deep in her eyes and she's just mean

I once met a girl on craigslist
I think I made a tasty meal
Shoulda gone on match dot com...
No no, I'm done with that ordeal!
Faded beauty seems so surreal
But I ain't yet so jaded I can't feel
A year and a half with a hole in my head
A hole in my life and I can't get it back!
