No Trick Pony

from Wicker Pants by Billy Webster

lyrics

Not about to jump to conclusions
Suffer under my old delusions
Not about to jump five stories
Into your flame

I was born to leave Matamoras
Where I sang with Earl in the chorus
When I went to Milford
I heard MILF in the name

And you pull me under
‘Til I’m over the world
And you look like thunder
But you throw like a girl

Girls, girls, girls
Boys and Wellesley girls
And Harvard girls
And Princeton girls
And New York girls
And your godless heathens
And your Jesus girls
There’s a million reasons
To throw the pigs your pearls

Brother you should take a vacation
Or you’ll find another occasion
To adjust your senses
To the sound of your shame

And you pull me over
Like I’m Helen of Troy
And you’re a four leaf clover
But you cry like a boy

Boys, boys, boys
Girls and Harlem boys
And Chelsea boys
And LA boys
And Brooklyn boys
And your bodhisattvas
And your Buddhist queens
There’s a million reasons
To live your life in dreams
