Last Go 'Round

Last Go 'Round - Dave's True Story

The occult has never been my favorite scene

But I found myself beset by such odd dreams

So I went to see a psychic to confer

In a room that reeked of sandalwood and myrrh

And the hours flew by as I sat with her

She said the wheel of life had done me to a turn

Seems I have nomore karmic lessons left to learn

I've been everything from Pope to petty crook

Seems I'm several centuries older than I look

And when I go this time I'm finally off the hook

I know my words astound

But I swear I'm not unsound

It's now or never darling

For this is my last go 'round

I think Shakespeare was offended just a touch

When I told him that his Hamlet talked too much

As a courtesan to kings I proved adept

I watched the stars as Tutahnkamen slept

And when Socrates let go the cup I wept

Though charlatans abound

I've got to stand my ground

It's now or never sweet heart

For this is my last go 'round

I've had a rich and varied time

According to my psychic friend

How strange that fate should feel inclined

To save you for the very end

Then sens you never know what life may have in store

I may be wrong to think we've never met before

Perhaps we chatted briefly with that queen

The night I drove King Louis' carriage to Varenne

But I doubt we'll have the chance to meet again

Don't mean to bring you down

But I'm bound for higher ground

It's now or never darling

For this is my last go 'round
