Rick Springfield
Miss Mayhem
[Verse 1]
That girl has a gift
Like a social disease
If you catch my drift
She brought me to my knees
And like a wrecking hammer
She broke me down ’til I said please
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Was it her plan of attack
While she was raking my back
She left me hanging
With my heart in the brain
[Chorus]
Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the month of July
It’s my misguided notion
Silent as the scream
There were no warning signs
In her eyes
And I’m so pleased to meet you
Miss Mayhem
[Verse 3]
I’m sleeping with a time bomb
She’s counting it down
I’m walking with napalm
In an organdy gown
Into my private slammer
She locked me down and kept the key
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
She is the woman in black
She is my panic attack
She’s with a no money back guarantee
[Chorus]
Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the summer tonight
She’s freezing my emotion
As deadly as a scream
Swear I don’t see any fear
In her eyes
Thanks for introducing me
To Miss Mayhem
[Verse 5]
Tryin’ to run
While I’m shakin’ the dust off
Cryin’ to you while I’m
Scraping the rust off
Lying to you
While I’m breakin’ the trust up
Won’t you please just
[Chorus]
Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the the month of July
It’s my misguided notion
Silent as the scream
There were no warning signs
In her eyes
And I’m so pleased to meet you
Miss Mayhem
[Chorus]
Say a prayer for me
Winter is here in the summer tonight
She’s freezing my emotion
As deadly as a scream
Swear I don’t see any fear
In her eyes
Thanks for introducing me
To Miss Mayhem
