Kid Charlemagne

In the style of

Steely Dan

Lyrics

while the music played
you worked
by candlelight

those
san francisco nights
you were
the best in town

just by chance
you crossed
a diamond
with a 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 musta 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 their 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
outta here

is there gas
in the car
yes there's gas
in the car
i think the people
down the hall
know who ya 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
kid charlemagne
