lyrics

The sky cried out on the little town when Old Willy lost his groove
He put the moves on a Lazy Mary with his pants long gone
Clean it up, Willy, watch where you're going
You've shaken many trees
So get out while you can, take a trip and stay a while

I saw water in the woods while driving westward bound
Old Willy set up camp far off the woodland sound
Keep it up, Willy, watch where you're landing
It's permanently pressed
The rocky strip is gently hammered, it's falling out of time

Oh Willy, you're climbing a lost mountain
Can't you tell? It's all you got
Oh Willy, you're insulating your wildest dreams
Speak slowly, you're off the tracks
And when it starts, tears will shed
Disaster rears its pretty head

Old Willy would tell midnight tales of far-off getaways
He put the moves on a way of life to stay away
Keep in mind, Willy, the punks walk in order
They listen to your creed
The women love you, the nightlife owns you, where's your karma now?

Oh Willy, you're climbing a lost mountain
Can't you tell? It's all you got
Oh Willy, you're insulating your wildest dreams
Speak slowly, you're off the tracks
And when it starts, tears will shed
Disaster rears its pretty head

Old Willy was scalped last night
His heart of gold cost next to none
The war was never over, the war was never won
He's a colonel bastard, master disaster
With a criminal smile
Old Willy picked his chin up, and out came his last words:
I never left another mother

I'm sorry Willy, they never really understood
They took your head, they took your soul
I'm sorry Mama, Willy never really got the point
When he loves, he loves a lot
But in the end, what was it worth?
Disaster lifts up its skirt
