One Trick Tony

Well I gave up drinking for a whole half-week

To see how the story ended

Two left feet and a set complete

Of the ivories newly-stained white

One Trick Tony took himself out for lunch

To celebrate the feel of his suit

If this disguise played through from the back of the room

Even for the last of the wine

Singin' now -

Well here's to your daughters

Cause the curves and corners

Make my mind go slow

So bring the ol' sun down, we're coming out

You can never go back home

You can never go back home

When your plans all turn to dust, yeah

You gotta sing from your guts

She asked me "How can you write all them sad sad songs?

Celebrate the lonely and the lame?"

I said "The joy in you, I just couldn't compute

'Gainst a rythmn and a good chord change."

One Trick Tony took himself out for drinks

Fought the poetry and smoke

To ease on back in the drink

From the back of the russian tea wrote

For me now

Well here's to your daughter

Cause the curves and corners

Make my mind go slow

So bring the ol' sun down

We're coming out

You can never go back home

You can never go back home

When your plans all turn to dust, yeah

You gotta sing from your nuts

Well here's to your daughter

Cause the curves and corners

Make my mind go slow

I'm gone

I'm gone

You can never go back home

You can never go back home, oh sing it now

You can never go back home

You can never go back home

When your plans all turn to dust, yeah

You gotta sing from your nuts
