Kid Charlemagne

[00:10.17] While the music played, you worked by candlelight

[00:14.94] Those San Francisco nights

[00:17.44] You were the best in town

[00:21.46] Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl

[00:24.98] You turned it on the world

[00:27.72] That's when you turned the world around

[00:31.24] (Did you feel like Jesus?)

[00:34.74] Did you realize

[00:37.25] That you were a champion in their eyes?

[00:46.03] On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene

[00:50.04] But yours was kitchen-clean

[00:52.54] Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home

[00:56.31] Every A-Frame had your number on the wall

[00:59.81] You must have had it all

[01:02.84] You'd go to L.A. on a dare and you'd go it alone

[01:06.09] (Could you live forever?)

[01:09.60] Could you see the day?

[01:12.11] Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?

[01:31.17] Now your patrons have all left you in the red

[01:35.44] Your low-rent friends are dead

[01:37.44] This life can be very strange

[01:41.20] All those day-glo freaks who used to paint the face

[01:45.46] They've joined the human race

[01:47.72] Some things will never change

[01:51.23] (Son, you were mistaken)

[01:54.74] You are obsolete

[01:57.49] Look at all the white men on the street

[03:08.47] Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail

[03:12.23] Those test-tubes and the scale

[03:14.74] Just get it all out of here

[03:18.75] Is there gas in the car?

[03:21.01] Yes, there's gas in the car

[03:25.02] I think the people down the hall know who you are

[03:28.28] 'Cause the man is wise

[03:34.05] You are still an outlaw in their eyes
