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 |
