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
