Slim-lined, sheik-faced angel of the night
Ridin' like a cowboy in the graveyard of the night
A New York witch in the dungeon of the day
I'm tryin' to write my novel but all you do is play

Baby Boomerang
Baby Boomerang
Well, you never spite a person but you always bang the whole gang
(Oh, yeah)

Mince pie, dog-eye, eagle on the wind
You're searchin' through this garbage lookin' for a friend
Your uncle with an alligator chained to his leg
Dangles you your freedom, then he offers you his bed

Baby Boomerang
Baby Boomerang
Well, you never spite a person but you always bang the whole gang
(Oh, yeah)

It seemed to me to dream is somethin' too wild
In Max's Kansas City, you're a belladonna child
Hidin' on the highway down the gateway to the south
You're talkin' with your boots and you're walkin' with your mouth

Baby Boomerang
Baby Boomerang
Well, you never spite a person but you always bang the whole gang
Baby Boomerang
Baby Boomerang
Well, you never spite a person but you always bang the whole gang
Wow, thank you Ma'am
Ha, ha, yeah
