One Trick Ponies

loved you all a long, long while

looked down into a deep, dark well

called all your names

they echoed down for miles and miles

and all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

loved them all through many a lifetime

some are gone but some still strong

some are weird as hell but we love ‘em

some are one trick ponies but we embrace ‘em

cuz i’ve always had a soft spot for repetition

loved you all a long, long while

looked down into a deep, dark well

called all your names

they echoed down for miles and miles

and all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

loved you all a long, long time

looked long into the length of a tunnel

called all your names

and we was tripping out cuz we needed a way out

and all them other crystalline mystic rationalizations

loved them all right down to my soul

looked well into the depth of a hole

pondered perpetual motion in the echo

just like the song if the repeats were long

loved you all a long, long while

looked down into a deep, dark well

called all your names

they echoed down for miles and miles

and all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

loved you all a long, long while

and i’d give my left--nevermind--for one big synchronized smile

some are one trick ponies but so am i

round ‘em up into a mixed bag bundle of love now

loved them all a long, long tick

and it’s four, five, six

prevent your schtick

throw them at the wall in a mixed bag and see if they stick

then give ‘em a glass of water

give ‘em a cherry pie

loved you all a long, long while

looked down into a deep, dark well

called all your names

they echoed down for miles and miles

and all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind
