Marvelous Tricks with the Language

Oh, there’s a million things you could do
fall in love in Texas

fall out of love somewhere
in New Mexico

listen to Into the Mystic
8 times in a row

listen to Sweet Thing
8 times in a row.

You could pick a little,
whatcha got?

You do know The First Cut
Is The Deepest, right?

Well, you should by now
so keep practicing.

Oh, there’s a million things you could do
take her to St. John, again

and put her up someplace nice
they love that stuff

…but I know you
and I know at this point you’d rather

just hang out with the dogs
and teach them to do

marvelous tricks with the language.
