I slide right through the days
"Hurry, hurry hard"
Where you waiting beside a silent telephone
And my name when it gets closer
And I'm peeling off the label
Are all staring, glaring disapprovingly
Have to stop myself from climbing
For the snowy road
So Elvira brings my bottle
Right off, no never, never ever, ever
And I've lost again, I'll go
Dance down the sheet to the tune of
Going yellow on the wall
Figures of two rinks battling
All the championship banners
I'm always throwing hack weight
Right off, no never, never ever never
Right off, no never, never, never ever
On the table full of empties to yell
I'm always throwing hack weight
Right off, no never, never ever, ever
Right off, no never ever, never ever
Teammates all left
Maybe have one more brown one
Right off, no never ever, never ever
"Why can't I ever stop where I wanna stay?"
Circa 1963
So tell me
"Why, why can't I draw right up to what I wanna say?"
Now the senior bonspiel winners
When they pull the 50/50
Right off, no never, never ever never
We drip right through our months
Right off, no never, never ever never
Right off, no never, never ever, ever
Right off, no never ever, never ever
Why can't I ever stop when I wanna stay?
As they peel a corner guard
Wonders why I'm not at home
For an answer I can't give you
From their frame in that old photograph at me
We roll right through our years
And I know you're out their waiting
An extra end
I slide through our days
Doodle circles within circles all alone
And my popcorn squeaks with the question
To last call
Why, why can't I draw right up to what I wanna say?
Before they had to buy a round
Right off, no never, never, never ever
Hold it up and let it bend
