A Lover’s Writ Of Habeas Corpus

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

There’s this problem I’ve been having
And I don’t know what to do
I need somebody to help me
‘Cause my problem is you
I’ve tried my best to run away
But I can’t seem to break free
You’re a living Venus fly trap
And you’ve got a hold on me

I can’t eat
I can’t sleep
I am falling ever deep
Not a clue what I should do
Can’t stop thinking about you

I’ll file a writ of habeas corpus
I will make you set me free
Take my case to the Supreme Court
I am sure they will agree
There’s not much I know for certain
But this much I know is true
You’re not taking me alive
And I won’t walk the plank for you

I can’t laugh
I can’t smile
I’m not walking down the aisle
I am stuck to you like glue
Only one thing left to do

I’m gonna build myself a bunker
I’ll start hiding underground
Put a periscope above me
So I still can peek around
If I ever see you comin’
I will still be safe and sound
I’ll just stay there in my bunker
And I never will be found

This is just so damn perplexing
Doctor says it’s a case of love
I have got to find a cure
‘Cause you’re all I’m thinking of
If no one will rescue me
A dead man walking I will be

I’ll file a writ of habeas corpus
I will make you set me free
Take my case to the Supreme Court
I am sure they will agree
There’s not much I know for certain
But this much I know is true
You’re not taking me alive
And I won’t walk the plank for you
