Steely Dan -01- Kid Charlemagne
[00:10.42] While the music played you worked by candlelight
[00:14.95] Those San Francisco nights
[00:17.20] You were the best in town
[00:20.96] Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
[00:24.72] You turned it on the world
[00:27.49] That's when you turned the world around
[00:30.99] Did you feel like Jesus?
[00:34.26] Did you realize
[00:36.76] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[00:45.79] On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
[00:50.30] But yours was kitchen clean
[00:52.31] Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
[00:56.33] Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
[00:59.59] You must have had it all
[01:02.10] You'd go to L.A. on a dare
[01:05.10] And you'd go it alone
[01:06.36] Could you live forever?
[01:09.61] Could you see the day?
[01:11.87] Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
[01:16.14] Get along
[01:18.64] Get along, Kid Charlemagne
[01:21.15] Get along, Kid Charlemagne
[01:30.94] Now your patrons have all left you in the red
[01:34.94] Your low rent friends are dead
[01:37.21] This life can be very strange
[01:41.22] All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the face
[01:45.23] They've joined the human race
[01:47.24] Some things will never change
[01:51.50] Son, you were mistaken
[01:54.75] You are obsolete
[01:57.01] Look at all the white men on the street
[02:01.28] Get along
[02:03.78] Get along, Kid Charlemagne
[02:06.29] Get along, Kid Charlemagne
[03:08.22] Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
[03:12.24] Those test tubes and the scale
[03:14.48] Just get it all out of here
[03:17.99] Is there gas in the car
[03:20.50] Yes, there's gas in the car
[03:25.01] I think the people down the hall
[03:26.77] Know who you are
[03:28.27] Careful what you carry
[03:31.53] 'Cause the man is wise
[03:33.79] You are still an outlaw in their eyes
[03:37.80] Get along
[03:40.30] Get along, Kid Charlemagne, (get along)
[03:43.07] Get along, Kid Charlemagne
