Kid Charlemagne |
Those San Francisco nights |
You were the best in town |
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl |
You turned it on the world |
That’s when you turned the world around |
Did you feel like Jesus? |
Did you realize |
That you were a champion in their eyes? |
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene |
But yours was kitchen clean |
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home |
Every A-Frame had your number on the wall |
You must have had it all |
You’d go to L.A. on a dare |
And you’d go it alone |
Could you live forever? |
Could you see the day? |
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away? |
Get along |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne |
Now your patrons have all left you in the red |
Your low rent friends are dead |
This life can be very strange |
All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the face |
They’ve joined the human race |
Some things will never change |
Son, you were mistaken |
You are obsolete |
Look at all the white men on the street |
Get along |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne |
Clean this mess up else we’ll all end up in jail |
Those test tubes and the scale |
Just get it all out of here |
Is there gas in the car |
Yes, there’s gas in the car |
I think the people down the hall |
Know who you are |
Careful what you carry |
'Cause the man is wise |
You are still an outlaw in their eyes |
Get along |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne, (get along) |
Get along, Kid Charlemagne |
