Twisted Situation

By Wendy Ellison Mullen

 

She’s a friend of mine at least I thought she was;

She told you I’d left town without so much as “because. . .”

                                                                                    (and you believed her!)

I’d gone to the gig  because I thought you were there,

But she’d dragged you away  saying I didn’t care.

                                                                                    (what a liar!)

(Chorus)

It’s a twisted situation

We’re stumbling in green

It’s so Dylanesque

A real mid-summer night’s dream

If  you know what I mean. . .

 

When I looked up from my wine her man was standing there;

He told me not to think twice he told me you didn’t care.

                                                                                    (and I believed him!)

Then he dragged me to dance,  and he pulled me to him;

I felt my tears on his shoulder just as you walked in. . .

 

It’s a twisted situation

We’re stumblin’ in green

It’s so Dylanesque

A real mid-summer night’s dream

A real Dickensian scene

 

Well, the look on your face  before you turned right around--

It told me the truth with my heart sinkin’ down. . .

 

Now I search for you as he yearns for her

And she chases you as you shrug through this world. . .

 

It’s a twisted situation

We’re run ragged in green

It’s so Dylanesque

A real Dickensian scene

A real mid-summer night’s dream

If you know what I mean. . .

It’s so Dylanesque—it’s so Dylanesque . . .

Such a twisted situation. . .

Oh! I know you  believed her!  (What a liar!)

Things were not how they seemed!

We’re run ragged in green!

Oh!!   She’s a liar!
