Maybe it's because I'm only starting
|
That I think it won't take too long
|
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
|
That I think you've got it wrong
|
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
|
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
|
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
|
And someone else said never mind
|
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
|
As all the cats I'd ever seen
|
I grew my hair and bought a suit
|
Of shiny white or was it cream
|
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
|
And stood on a mountain top
|
No one came from miles around and said
|
Man your music is really hot
|
|
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
|
My throat was tired and worn
|
My pretty face just looked out of place
|
As they poured on the scorn
|
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
|
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
|
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about
|
He must've been the king of queens
|
Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done
|
But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung
|
There's a law for the rich and one for the poor
|
and there's another one for singers
|
|
It's die young and live much longer
|
Spend your money and sit and wonder
|
No one came for miles around
|
And said man your music is really funky
|
|
I believe that I must tell the truth
|
And say things as they really are
|
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
|
Could I ever be a star
|
Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'
|
Everyone's shouting out loud
|
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
|
Where's my Robin Hood outfit
|
Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye
|
No one ever cared enought to say goodbye
|
The money's good and the time you have
|
Fun and games galore
|
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
|
And you wonder what you did it for
|
No one came from miles around
|
And said man who's he?
