Kid Charlemagne

While the music played you worked by candlelight
 Those San Francisco nights
 You were the best in town
 Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the 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 motorhome
 Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
 You must have 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 the 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 out of here
 Is there gas in the car?
 Yes, there's gas in the car
 I think the people down the hall know who you 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)
 Get along, Kid Charlemagne
