Eligible, not too stupidThe Magnetic Fields, Lyrics to "Chicken With Its Head Cut Off" from Volume 1 of 69 Love Songs.
Intelligible, cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the nightWell my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And I'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at allWe don't have to stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Let's just be lovers
