lyrics

Another shot at greatness
another flash in the pan
things around here were going just fine
until they weren't again
He said
"If words weren't meant for joking, then I don't know what they're for."
Around that time she packed her things and she headed out the door
A madman wrote the dictionary
Isaac Newton stuck a pin in his eye
The ancient Greeks couldn't see the color blue
but the women sure gave them a try
He said
"I don't know why she got so mad, I was only doing what I do"
Around that time she hopped a plane
and she headed out to Honalu
It's the last ship a-sailing crossing the river to the east
It's a holy ghost
a father
and a beast
and a beast
O' Henry spent three years in jail and he never said where he'd been
Somebody should have told old Mary Mallon
that getting sick wasn't a sin
He dressed up like Fred Astaire
and he wondered just where she'd gone
Around that time she danced along
to a bar band's ragtime song
Guglielmo Marconi never really knew what to do
he just kept on guessing until the messages came through
Well He dressed up like Superman and he saved a cat from a tree
Around that time, she packed her things
and she knew where she wanted to be
It's the last ship a-sailing crossing the river to the east
It's a holy ghost
a father
and a beast
and a beast
Another shot at greatness
another flash in the pan
sometimes you just get lucky
sometimes there's a master plan
She dressed up like Dorothy Gale
and she walked back through the door
the tin man grabbed his oil can and they made love on the floor
It's the last ship a-sailing crossing the river to the east
It's a holy ghost
a father
and a beast
and a beast
