Like most everyone here, I would love to know what goes on in her head when she weaves her words, but I just can't devote any energy to something I believe is beyond my grasp.

"How about them engine breaks?"
Doesn't fit.
I do seem to remember noticing a few typos when I read the lyrics. I don't have them to hand but when I do the inner pedant in me will be sure to point them out.
