Slang of Ages

Lyrics

Let me put it this way, doll
 I know it's getting late
 I can tell from the planes of your face
 That you're from out of state
 But here in the Willows, now, here's the deal
 Tomorrow's for squares, and tonight's for real
 Drop me off in groove time
 Do you hear the slang of ages?
 Show me how it's done
 Now, did you say you were from the Netherlands
 Or was that "nether world"?
 If you grew up in Amsterdam
 Well, then I'm the Duke of Earl
 These tabs look iffy, but you say they're good
 Let's roll with the homeys and knock on wood
 Drop me off in groove time
 Soothe me with the slang of ages
 Show me where I turn
 You are part of the dreaming
 The end of my life so far
 Or something halfway in between
 You ought to know
 Where'd you go?
 Where'd you go?
 Damn, she skipped dimensions
 Was it something that I said?
 Or something I was thinking
 When she opened up my head?
 Let me make it right, babe, never mind how
 There's a crazy little place I know called “Be There Now"
 Drop me off in groove time
 Do you hear the slang of ages?
 Show me how it's done
 Drop me off in groove time
 Soothe me with the slang of ages
 This is where I turn
 That's right
 Slang me
