Ain't It Peculiar - Tim Buckley

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 peculiar, 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…
