Tim Buckley – Ain't It Peculiar lyrics

Ain't it peculiar, darlin',
How our love goes on and on.
Ain't it peculiar, honey,
We take the bad with the wrong

You know that time after time,
A misfortune smiled,
Ain't it peculiar, woman,
You know we'll laugh our way through.

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?

You know I'm ready to say that [?]
Lord, you're the talk of the town.
The next minute, you're busted,
Just listenin' to that jailhouse sound.

You know that time after time,
A misfortune smiled.
Ain't it pecular, woman,
How we'll just laugh our way through:

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?

You know, double-talk is poison,
But that's the rule of the game;
Instead of back-stabbing, they practice
All the little things that drive you insane.

You know that time after time,
A misfortune smiled.
You know, it's so peculiar
I can still laugh my way through it.

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?

Ain't it peculiar (6 x's, fade out)
