Well, the sidewalks are lonely when they're under her feet
As she's sliding away back to her living room suite, oh Katie
♪
She's a walk in the park, a suburban threat
And every afternoon is a Sunday dress, oh Katie
♪
She gets invited to the party, but she'll always decline
'Cause she's fine by herself with a bottle of wine, oh Katie
♪
You never see her around, she never picks up the phone
She's the type of girl who always like being alone, oh Katie
♪
With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well, her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
♪
She's a beautiful novel, a paranoid sin
A whiskey, a water, a tonic and gin, oh Katie
♪
She's a minor fifth on a monotone day
And if you get too close, she'd try to push you away, oh Katie
♪
With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well, her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
♪
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
(Well, her mind is brittle, and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
She lights up a smoke, she pulls up a chair
She's taking a drag, she's twirling her hair, oh Katie
♪
It's the moral of the story that we just felt
She's hot as sin, but it's worth the melt, oh Katie
