New Mistake Lyrics

New Mistake

Jellyfish(1994)

Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman

Signing his love letter "Best wishes, Simpleton"

Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs

He knew better that perfume was gravity

Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy

Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind

You better catch me when I fall

I'm on my roller skates

'Cause any ole way that I fall

I land in your arms even though it's wrong

'Cause I love my new mistake

Intermission gave way to a miracle

The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle

That couldn't wait

The mother was three weeks late

So Father Mason clutching his crucifix

Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice

What a lovely way

Drowning sins in tooth decay

Looks like our hero's gonna fall

The bough's about to break

'Cause any ole way that I fall

I'll be in your arms as we lie awake

With our lovely new mistake

You better catch me when I fall

My sugar trampoline

'Cause any ole way that I fall

I land in your arms even though it's wrong

'Cause I love my new mistake

The ending turned tragic when many years later

The baby had grown up and married a pop singer

I guess it was her turn to make (her first mistake)

Any ole time at all

Any ole way that I fall

Any ole time at all

Any ole way that I fall

Any ole time at all

Any ole way that I fall

Any ole time at all

Any ole way that I fall

Any ole time at all

Any ole way that I fall

Any ole time at all...
