Ten Girls Ago

Buster turned round to me And said hey kid you must be joking

You got an attitude You think you're funny but you're choking hey hey

Back every word that comes out of your mouth (Ten girls ago)

You thought you had something to laugh about

But it was just a crazy thing

The wrong act in the wrong circus ring

The sweet pain of a needle's sting

Ten girls ago, ten girls ago

Eddie and Burt sneaked out the back

And threw up before every scene

The camera rolled and my life

Flashed before me just as if in a dream

A dog was leading me round on a chain Ten girls ago

I kicked it but I ended up in pain

But it was just a crazy thing

Flying an airplane made of string

Sweet pain of a needle's sting

Ten girls ago

Wrap it up in a paper cup

Put it in a bag for me

Get yourself another dog

Ah you're barking up the wrong tree

And now I stand a hope in hell

Of not ending up in the bottom of a well

A place where all lost souls must go

When they don't know where their life is going

And now life glows with a life of its own Ten girls ago

I would have told you my chances were blown

But it was just a crazy thing

The wrong act in the wrong circus ring

The sweet pain of a needle's sting

Ten girls ago, ten girls ago

But it was just a crazy thing

Flying an airplane made of string

Sweet pain of a needle's sting

Ten girls ago
