In the vagaries of time When Al Green explores your mind Just a kitten’s nursery rhyme Of a single chorus line Where the dancers hope to find Another dream of wealth and wine
All of the hippos at the zoo Have got a pebble in their shoe And the trickster’s happy crew Is eating crocodile stew The unicorns are dancing too With a song that's just for you
I found a refuge in your eyes Refreshment under rainy skies Where my stupidity is wise You were too sweet to realize Out of a world of better guys You really thought I was a prize
You can't go back to nothing Even if you thought it was something
You can't resurrect Something that was Never alive I got myself wrecked Too stupid to suspect It was a lie The dream I thought I had Was so much worse Than bad How could she ever Love another guy?
You can't go back to nothing Even if you thought it was something
She stomped On my head Left my body For dead Half frozen barely breathing In the snow That's when I knew The love I thought was true Was just A dilly dally Do-si-do
You can't go back to nothing Even if you thought it was something

Decimating dreams With their underhanded schemes You can't avoid their stankage From Omaha to Anchorage
They learn it From their mothers Who never taught them right And their two-timing daddies Out carousing every night
Decimating dreams With their underhanded schemes You can't avoid their stankage From Omaha to Anchorage
I've been duped I've been ghosted I've heard a million lies Dirty slimy scallywags What is wrong with guys? Decimating dreams With their underhanded schemes You can't avoid their stankage From Omaha to Anchorage
Carless stupid cruel Lord I'm such a fool To hurt the one With love so true In my glass I darkly see A cavalcade Of misery Line em up This round's on me
Honky tonks And dark saloons Stumbling neath A harvest moon One night stands Destructed dreams Reflecting on My misery Line em up This round's on me
