Lyrics
The benches were full of tramps dressed in half-hung bawdy strings Everybody dancing to the tunes of lesser things Somewhere out beyond the throng cries an upright, honest fool The judges and the country hogs getting juiced behind the school But there’s no one pulling on my strings There’s no one here but me It’s never gonna be the same I wish I had a pretty face and a mane that’s silk and gold Not everyone’s a liar when they say “to have and hold” Lucky was the first one in before the walls grew up so high The only way to see her now is to sprout some wings and fly But there’s no one pulling on my strings There’s no one here but me It’s never gonna be the same And if all my careless humble dreams Say “to hell with harboring” It’s never gonna be the same again Someday when the cold wind blows and the pale cats own the street Able men and powder hens confide and form a plea Never let ‘em see you strain, never stomp, bleat, parse or incite Carry what you paid in full, stay timely, seldom bite But there’s no one pulling on my strings There’s no one here but me It’s never gonna be the same And if all my careless humble dreams Say “to hell with harboring” It’s never gonna be the same again When I was a little boy I often felt so all alone Playing in a house of plans, my father laid the stone I came upon a little girl, and she held me fast and tight I would go to hell to make the wrongs against her right Well, baby, I’d go there
