Busted flat at the Pirates, prayin' for a break
When I's feeling nearly bad as Dave Duncan
Jason left the Nationals scoreless in his wake
The messages had finally sunk in

I pulled out of the closet my dirty red home cap
I was crying soft while Jason sung the blues
Groundball outs were marking time, I was hoping Jason could go nine
I cheered every pitch that Jason threw

Sinker's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing - gotta listen to Dunc's pleas, no no
Yeah, feeling good wasn't easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know, one good game was good enough for me
Good enough for me and that Jason Marquis.

From the Astros' bandbox to spacious PETCO Park
Yeah, Jason looked completely lost out there
Through all kinds of bullpens, through many talks with Mark
Yeah, Jason tried to keep away from despair

One day a near the deadline Lord, we could trade him away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of his curve balls for one single hard sinker
To be seein' Jason learn what his pitch is

Sinker's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing - gotta listen to Dunc's pleas
Yeah, feeling good wasn't easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know, one good game was good enough for me, hmm hmm
Good enough for me and that Jason Marquis.

La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da
La-da-da da-la-da la-da, Jason Marquis, yeah
La-da-la-da-la-da La-da-la-da-da
La-da-la-da-la-la, Jason Marquis, yeah
La-da-da La-da-da La da-da La da-da
La-da-da La da-da La da-da
Hey, that Jason, Lord, that Jason Marquis, yeah
Lo-da-lo da-la-lo-da-la
Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la
Hey, you Jason, Lord, that Jason Marquis, yeah

Lord, I called him a headcase, called him the man
I said I'm calling for the sinker the best I can, c'mon
Hey now Jason now, hey now Jason Marquis, yeah
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
Hey, hey, hey, Jason Marquis, Lord!

La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la
Hey, hey, hey, Jason Marquis, yeah
