How do you shut up a ga-ga girl, poke'r face ???

How do you shut up a ga-ga girl, poke'r face ???<br>Lay down three, then a fourth Ace<br>

I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment's gone (dust in the wind)<br>just like a sad sad song that goes on and on,<br>Like a Phil Collins song, the monotony makes me yawn<br>

I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment's gone (dust in the wind)<br>just like a sad sad song that goes on and on,<br>Like a Phil Collins song, the monotony makes me yawn<br>or like a country song where siblings spawn.

How do you shut up a ga-ga girl, poke'r face ???<br>Lay down three, then a fourth Ace<br>There she is...ga-ga girl, in leather and lace<br>

I have become comfortably numb
