Only Son Of The Ladies' Man

Father John Misty

When I heard the ladiesman was dead
 I saw the rolling stone stopped moving
 Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip
 He left behind a legacy of ruin
 Now painted ladies want to hold my gun
 Wonder if the whole time if I'd been acting
 When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film
 Had I really made a sound when they called action

I swear that man was womankind's first husband
 They all died in a line to save him
 I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan
 I'm a leaning brand of a one night stand
 I'm a ladiesman

Oh some ladiesman
 Oh some ladiesman

Conceus used a body at the funeral
 By virtue of the flailing of his conquests
 They tied down his casket with the garter belt
 Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress
 Someone must console these lonesome daughters
 No written word or ballad will appease them
 Cowboy and the cop shot down the ladiesman
 The humid nights in LA are now silence
 I swear that man was womankind's first husband

Only son of the ladiesman
 Only son of the ladiesman
 Only son of the ladiesman
