So he looked on as they boarded the Eisenstein
The coming of age it was finally at hand
The banners were out for their season away in time
All winter they'd worked on their temporal plans
Donny was quiet as they shouted his name
"Be seeing you ten years ago!"
Don't make a home in this frozen town
Pull out your teeth you're ready
Don't be a slave to the here and now
Don't be a one-time Donny
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny
His father's a younger man
& Visits him all the time
"If you're trying to embarrass me" he says
"You're doing it well."
I won't understand you if I travel a thousand years hence
My father was time-appraised and his father as well
But Donny's not open
To blackmail or shame
No more than he was years ago
Don't make a home in this frozen town
Pull out your teeth you're ready
Don't be a slave to the here and now
Don't be a one-time Donny
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny
He's watched them all do their time
And year after year return
With stories of days to come
And now he's famous, it's true
His father's no longer comes
& They wait for him after work
With T-shirts and books to sign
There's often a queue
Donny is quiet
He's thinking it through
Just like he did ten years ago
Don't make a home in this frozen town
Pull out your teeth you're ready
Don't be a slave to the here and now
Don't be a one-time Donny
Don't make a home in this frozen town
Pull out your teeth you're ready
Don't be a slave to the here and now
Don't be a one-time Donny
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny-boy
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny-boy
A one-time
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
A one-time Donny-boy
A one-time Donny
A one-time boy
