How the great have fallen,
|
see how life has passed them by.
|
Was anybody looking in the crystal ball,
|
when his star was on the rise.
|
|
Stuffing his face with canned ham sandwich spread.
|
He was on the road to stardom, stayed a salesman instead.
|
What happened?
|
|
What makes one kid a star ?
|
What makes the other just another woman's child ?
|
I saw the TV.
|
Watch the fat kid grin.
|
Watch America go wild!
|
But he's not the famous child star anymore,
|
he's just the funny looking guy in the stereo store.
|
|
The fickleness of fame and fortune's caprice
|
together changed the life of Mason Reese.
|
|
You can still see Mason in the Underwood ads,
|
at the back of your mind.
|
Or you can see Mason at the Crazy Eddie store,
|
on the Upper West Side,
|
watching Gary Coleman and Emannuel Lewis.
|
He knows how much old dwarf child stars mean to us.
|
|
The fickleness of fame and fortune's caprice
|
together changed the life of Mason Reese.
