Cal: There's a reception Goin' on downstairs Sit back and watch the fun begin Come one, come all To the mourner's ball It costs you seven "I'm so sorry"s to get in
Above the party games You hear them speak Of how the future's at the door They're hot to win To give the bottle spin But it's just me and me alone who knows the score
And it's 'One, two, three!' That's how I feel about the future! That's how I deal with it all Livin' for the moment's rewards Knowin' destiny lies In these two hands Playing these three chords!
You hear the whispers In the castle hall "How could the king have passed away?" The court pays dumb And the queen keeps mum But listen close And you can hear the jester play!
Cal & Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: That's how I feel about the future!
Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: That's how I deal with it all
Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: Livin' for the moment's rewards Knowin' destiny lies
Cal & Chorus: In these two hands Playing these three chords! These three...
Cal: Desperate chords, desperate harmonics Despterate dominance, on two desperate tonics Desperate rhymes for you desperate pleasures 'Cos desperate times call for desperate measures
Desperate times, Cal Desperate times
Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: That's how I feel about the future!
Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: That's how I deal with it all
Chorus: 'One, two, three!'
Cal: Livin' for the moment's rewards Playin; 'One, two, three!'
Chorus: That's how to feel about the future!
Cal: 'One, two, three!'
Chorus: That's how to deal with it all
Cal: 'One, two, three!'
Chorus: Livin' for the moment's rewards
Cal & Chorus: Knowin' destiny lies In these two hands Playing these three chords! Yes, these two hands
