One Trick Pony
I’ve seen your one trick pony, I see a fire escape
I just hope you can find it before it’s too late
With your favorite girl and a dirty spoon
Lost a lot of love in this lonely room
Well your friends all say that but time as passed that they have never seen
With you monkey wrench and you gypsy top
You want to get started but you just can’t stop
It just took me a while to realize you must have bit in the night when I closed my eyes
Like a spider spinning your lies I heard in your voice and I seen it in your eyes
Green eyes glowing on starry night the air was warm and the moon was bright
You kissed her lip and she held you tight you didn’t feel a thing as she reached inside
She said I ain’t never gonna leave never say goodbye I’m tear drop hanging the rest of your life
Fairies and butterflies the edge of a knife I’m whatever it takes to get you through the night
It just took me a while to realize you must have bit in the night when I closed my eyes
Like a spider spinning your lies I heard in your voice and I seen it in your eye
It don’t work no more like a million times before and I’m missing you
It don’t work no more as my head hit the floor and I’m missing you
Well that’s not the whole story I’ve got more to say about being found and getting led astray
Some hands aren’t made for holding
Well I’ve tripped and I’ve sinned yelled at God and I’ve prayed to him, yet here I stand
Could you build me a temple where I don’t have to hide
And leave the crooked things of my past behind
Cuz I’ve walked a million miles and I’ve swam a thousand shores
I’ve spent ten years on the inside and I’m kicking down your door
It just took me a while to realize you must have bit in the night when I closed my eyes
Like a spider spinning your lies I heard in your voice and I seen it in your eye
