Whiplash by Electric Angels Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about yesterday
Been thinking about the one that got away
She looked like Marilyn Monroe
With the Mona Lisa's eyes
She became my kryptonite and left me
Paralyzed

[Chorus]
When she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
I was her hard-luck hero
And she was my grown-up girl
Yeah, when she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
We were gonna change the world
But the world changed us

[Verse 2]
Tying the knot would be the knot in my noose
Weddings and funerals give me the blues
I guess I was just an amusement park ride
For Suzy Suicide, suicide bride
The end of summer’s over
Don't need her anymore
She used to walk on water;
Now she's walking like a whore

[Chorus]
When she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
I was her hard-luck hero
And she was my grown-up girl
Yeah, when she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
We were gonna change the world
But the world changed

[Bridge]
You know, I still see her every once in a while
I lower my head, and she gives me a smile
She tells me I'm looking real good
I wish I could burn her like firewood

Well, I've been drinking my life away
Romanticizing yesterday
Well, everything improves with age
Except the girls I used to know
They cling to the past in desperation
Desolation girls
Well, me? I've given up on love
And trying to change the world

[Chorus]
When she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
I was her hard-luck hero
And she was my grown-up girl
Yeah, when she walked by
All the boys got whiplash
We were gonna change the world
We were gonna change the world
We were gonna change the world
But the world changed us
