Dazzle The Beast

Now it's christmas on the cape and i'm a tag-a-long friend
 another winter on the island mighta driven me insane.
 it's been a series of cheery gatherings coming slow to a
 close
 and the last few can't seem to say goodbye
 and in their laughter i'm dozing
 and a knock on the door
 it wakes me up with a start
 you're standing there with your new love
 oh! home of my heart!
 i try to think of what i'm wearing, hoping none of its yours
 i was amazed at what becomes you after everything goes
 and i see... she doesn't have my slouch
 and... she doesn't have my nose
 and she doesn't have my luck
 and... she doesn't have your clothes!
 it was out with the old
 and you moved to the east
 you were going for the gold
 you were going to dazzle the beast
 it was out with the old
 and you moved to the east
 you were after the gold
 you were going to dazzle the beast
 well where's houdini when you need him
 to make a joker an ace
 to make light of the moment
 by turning time back into space.
