Praying Mantis - live - Don Dixon

You’re standing apart again Mark

One two, one two three four

I saw a girl, she reminded me of you

She did the things that a girl like you might do

Her body was green and she had two vicious jaws

She polished her mate as she kissed him with her claws

Yeah but I’ll survive, it was on tv

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes but I could still see that the look she gave him you give

to me

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

She bit off his head so he would not feel the pain

She wanted his body so much she ate his brain

Yeah but I’ll survive, no you won’t catch me

I’ll resist the urge that is tempting me

I’ll avert my eyes, keep you off my knee

But it feels so good when you talk to me

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

Yeah but I’ll survive, it was on TV

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes but I could still see that the look she gave him you give

to me

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a praying mantis)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it (I sense your antics but I can’t help

it)

I’ve been too frantic too long (I've been too frantic too long)

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a prey)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it

I’ve been too frantic too long

I feel like a praying mantis (I feel like a prey)

I sense your antics but I can’t help it

I’ve been too frantic too long

I feel like a prey
