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