|
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely, |
|
|
But you know you only used to get juiced in it. |
|
|
You never had to live out on the street, |
|
|
But now you're gonna have to get used to it. |
|
|
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat |
|
|
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat. |
|
|
Ain't it hard when you discover that |
|
|
He really wasn't where it's at |
|
|
After he took from you everything he could steal. |
|
|
|
You never turned around to see the frowns |
|
|
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you. |
|
|
Never understood that it ain't no good. |
|
|
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you. |
|
|
You said you'd never compromise |
|
|
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize |
|
|
He's not selling any alibis |
|
|
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes |
|
|
And he says, "Do you want to make a deal?" |
|
|
|
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people |
|
|
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made. |
|
|
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts, |
|
|
You'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe. |
|
|
|
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used |
|
|
Go to him now he calls you you can't refuse |
|
|
When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose |
|
|
Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal. |
