Square One

I raise my glass
To the grand plans you made
To leper 13 who says he's been betrayed
To your paddle that's ten miles down the creek
To the bruises on your other cheek

Watch my soul come undone
Childhood shadows on the run
And my Old Mother Goose
Got her black apron on
She says welcome, son
Back home to square 1

I raise my glass
To your empty kingsize bed
To every file about you that she misread
To the sports car parked top-down in a ditch
To the armless boy with a burning itch

Watch my soul come undone
Childhood shadows on the run
And my Old Mother Goose
Got her black apron on
She says welcome, son
Back home to square 1

Ooo-hoo
I watch my soul
Coming undone
Woo-hoo
'cause I'm back
To square 1

I raise my glass
To the man set on his path
To the joker with a painted laugh
To the gambler who wins with a dead man's hand
To the killer in the witness stand

Watch my soul come undone
Childhood shadows on the run
And my Old Mother Goose
Got her black apron on
She says welcome, son
Back home to square 1

Ooo-hoo
I'm getting older
None the wiser
Ooo-hoo
Aphrodite
You're a miser
Ooo-hoo
Square One
Ooo-hoo
Square One
