 One Trick Pony » Tekst piosenki [+ Dodać +] |
1. _ Nobody
Who knows my secret broken
Who feels my flesh when i am gone
Who was a witness to the dream
Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream
Lying there
Nobody
Who is my reason to begin
Who plows the earth, who breaks the skin
Who took my two hands and made them four
Who is my heart, who is my door
Nobody
Nobody but you, girl
Nobody but you
Nobody in this whole wide world
Nobody
Who makes the bed that can't be made
Who is my mirror, who's my blade
When i am rising like a flood
Who feels the pounding in my blood
Nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody in this whole wide world
Nobody, girl
Nobody

2. _ God Bless The Absentee
Lord, i'm a working man
And music is my trade
I'm travelin' with this five-piece band
And i play the ace of spades
I have a wife and family
Who don't see much of me
God bless the absentee
Lord, i am a surgeon
And music is my knife
It cuts away my sorrow
And purifies my life
But if i could release my heart
And veins and arteries
I'd say god bless the absentee
I miss my woman so
I miss my bed
I miss those soft places
I used to lay my head
My son don't need me yet
His bones are soft
He flies a silver airplane
He wears a golden cross
God bless the absentee
Lord, this country's changed so fast
The future is the present
The present's in the past
Highways are in litigation
The airports disagree
God bless the absentee
God bless the absentee

3. _ One-trick Pony
He's a one trick pony
One trick is all that horse can do
He does one trick only
It's the principal source of his revenue
And when he steps into the spotlight
You can feel the heat of his heart
Come rising through
See how he dances
See how he loops from side to side
See how he prances
The way his hooves just seem to glide
He's just a one trick pony (that's all he is)
But he turns that trick with pride
He makes it look so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like god's
Immaculate machine
He makes me think about
All of these extra movements i make
And all of this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day
One-trick pony
He's a one trick pony
He either fails or he succeeds
He gives his testimony
Then he relaxes in the weeds
He's got one trick to last a lifetime
But that's all a pony needs
(that's all he needs)
He looks so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like god's
Immaculate machine
He makes me think about
All of these extra movements i make
And all of this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day
One-trick pony, one trick pony
One-trick pony, one trick pony
One-trick pony (take me for a ride)
One trick pony

4. _ Oh, Marion
The boy's got brains
He just don't use 'em that's all
The boy's got brains
He just refuse to use 'em and that's all
He said "the more i got to thinkin
The less i tend to laugh"
The boy's got brains
He just abstains
The boy's got a heart
But it beats on the opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature defied
He said "its a chance i had to take
So i shifted my heart for its safety sake"
The boy's got a heart but it beats on
His opposite side
Oh, marion,
I think i'm in trouble here
I should have believed you
When i heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
He says "oh, but when i sing
I can hear the truth auditioning".
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is natural

5. _ Jonah
Half and hour you change your strings and tune up
Sizing the room up
Checking the bar
Local girls unspoken conversations
Misinformation
Plays the guitar
They say jonah was swallowed by a whale
But i say there's no truth to that tale
I know jonah
Was swallowed by a song
No one lets their dreams be taken lightly
They hold them tightly
Warm against cold
One more year of traveling 'round this ciruit
Then you can work it into gold
Here's to all the boys who came along
Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases
All night long
Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
Do you wonder where those boys have gone?

6. _ Late In The Evening
the first thing i remember, i was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
And i remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do
Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through
The next thing i remember, i am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright i'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And i heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah
Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then i learned to play some lead guitar, i was underage in this funky bar
And i stepped outside to smoke myself a j
When i come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And i turned my amp up loud and i began to play
It was late in the evening, and i blew that room away
First thing i remember when you came into my life
I said i wanna get that girl, no matter what i do
Well i guess i've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But i've never loved no-one the way that i love you
And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through

7. _ Long, Long Day
It's been a long, long day
I got some run-down shoes
Ain't got no place to stay
But any old place will be okay
It's been a long, long day
I sure been on this road
Done nearly fourteen years
Can't say my name's well known
You don't see my face in rolling stone
But i sure been on this road
Slow motion
Half a dollar bill
Jukebox in the corner
Shooting to kill
And it's been a...
It's been a long, long day
I sure could use a friend
Don't know what else to say
I hate to abuse an old cliche
But it's been a long, long day
Its been a long, long day

8. _ How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns
In the blue light
Of the belvedere motel
Wondering as the television burns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
In a fever
I distinctly hear your voice
Emerging from a dream, the dream returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
After the rain on the interstate
The headlights slide past the moon
A bone-weary traveler
Waits by the side of the road
Where's he goin?
I dream we are lying on the top of a hill
And headlights slide past the moon
I fold in your arms
And your voice is the heat of the night
I'm on fire
In a phone booth
In some local bar and grill
Rehearsing what i'll say, my coin returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
How the heart approaches what it yearns

9. _ That's Why God Made The Movies
When i was born my mother died
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
I said "where you goin'?"
"i'm just born"
She said i'll only be gone for a while
My mother loved to leave in style
And that's why god made the movies
So i laid around in my swaddling clothes
Until the doctor came and turned out the light
Then i packed my bag
And my nametag
And stole away into the night
Hopeing things would work out alright
That's why god made the movies
Say you will, say you will
Say you'll take me to your loving breast
Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness
The way the ladies sometimes do
Say you won't, say you won't
Say you won't leave me for no other man
Say you'll love me for the way i am
Say you will, say you will
When i was born my mother died
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
And since that day
I've made my way
The notorious boy of the wild
Adopted by wolves when he was a child
That's why god. that's why god.
That's why god made the movies
