Lyrics
Hornet
Words and music by Kristin Erickson c 2006
Today I killed a hornet
Buzzing ?round my bedroom
Buzzing ?round my bedroom
Getting on my nerves
I had to get him first
Or he might have stung me
Today I killed a hornet because I could
Because I could
Today I killed a hornet ?cause I could
Today I killed a hornet
Climbing on my window
Climbing on my window
Trying to get outside
He?d flown into a world
Where he did not belong
Today I killed a hornet because I could
Because I could
Today I killed a hornet ?cause I could
Today I killed a hornet
?Cause I didn?t like him
?Cause I didn?t like him
I crushed him right in two
I could have raised the glass
But what if he came back
Today I killed a hornet because I could
Because I could
Today I killed a hornet ?cause I could
And I know you feel the way I do
Because we see things eye to eye
If we give an inch, they?ll take a mile
And then where would we be?
Then where would we be?
Some days I hate those hornets
Flying like to taunt me
Flying like to taunt me
With an order all their own
There ought to be some way
Some good final solution
Today I got one hornet because I could
Because I could
Today I killed a hornet ?cause I could
