Dazzle The Beast (Ferron)

Now it's christmas on the cape and I'm a tag-a-long friend Another winter on the island mighta driven me insane. It's been a series of cheery gatherings coming slow to a close And the last few can't seem to say goodbye and in their laughter I'm dozing And a knock on the door It wakes me up with a start You're standing there with your new love Oh! Home of my heart! I try to think of what I'm wearing, hoping none of its yours I was amazed at what becomes you after everything goes And I see...she doesn't have my slouch And....she doesn't have my nose And she doesn't have my luck And...she doesn't have your clothes!! It was out with the old And you moved to the east You were going for the gold You were going to dazzle the beast It was out with the old And you moved to the east You were after the gold You were going to dazzle the beast Well where's Houdini when you need him to make a Joker an Ace To make light of the moment by turning Time back into Space.
