"Oh, Marion" lyrics
(from "One-Trick Pony" soundtrack)
The boy's got brains, he just don't use them that's all
The boy's got brains, he just refuse to use them and that's all
He says, "The more I get to thinking
The less I tend to laugh."
The boy's got brains, he just abstains
The boy's got a heart but it beats on his opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon, the laws of nature defied
He said, "It's a chance I had to take
So, I shifted my heart for its safety's sake."
The boy's got a heart but it beats on his opposite
Oh, Marion, I think I'm in trouble here
I should have believed you when I heard you saying it
The only time that love is an easy game
Is when two other people are playing it
The boy's got a voice but the voice is his natural disguise
Yes, the boy's got a voice but his words don't connect to his eyes
He says, "Ah, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning."
The boy's got a voice but the voice is his natural
The boy's got brains, he just refuse to use them and that's all
He says, "The more I get to thinking
The less I tend to laugh."
The boy's got brains, he just abstains
The boy's got a heart but it beats on his opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon, the laws of nature defied
He said, "It's a chance I had to take
So, I shifted my heart for its safety's sake."
The boy's got a heart but it beats on his opposite
Oh, Marion, I think I'm in trouble here
I should have believed you when I heard you saying it
The only time that love is an easy game
Is when two other people are playing it
The boy's got a voice but the voice is his natural disguise
Yes, the boy's got a voice but his words don't connect to his eyes
He says, "Ah, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning."
The boy's got a voice but the voice is his natural
