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?.
