[00:00.56]Kid Charlemagne
[00:02.17]
[00:11.43]While the music played you worked by candlelight
[00:15.30]Those San Francisco nights
[00:17.30]You were the best in town
[00:19.87]Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
[00:24.88]
[00:25.33]You turned it on the world
[00:27.54]That's when you turned the world around
[00:30.40]Did you feel like Jesus
[00:34.90]Did you realize
[00:36.65]
[00:37.25]That you were a champion in their eyes
[00:40.88]On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
[00:50.23]But yours was kitchen clean
[00:52.29]Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
[00:56.45]
[00:56.70]Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
[00:59.99]You must have had it all
[01:02.41]You'd go to L.A. on a dare
[01:04.75]And you'd go it alone
[01:06.10]
[01:06.46]Could you live forever
[01:09.69]Could you see the day
[01:12.09]Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
[01:15.76]
[01:16.30]Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne
[01:21.15]Get along Kid Charlemagne
[01:23.47]
[01:30.83]Now your patrons have all left you in the red
[01:35.00]Your low rent friends are dead
[01:37.10]This life can be very strange
[01:39.86]All those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face
[01:44.33]
[01:44.78]They've joined the human race
[01:47.24]Some things will never change
[01:49.85]Son you were mistaken
[01:54.71]You are obsolete
[01:57.01]Look at all the white men on the street
[01:59.64]
[03:08.38]Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
[03:12.69]Those test tubes and the scale
[03:14.83]Just get them all out of here
[03:17.29]Is there gas in the car
[03:20.49]
[03:20.95]Yes, there's gas in the car
[03:24.66]I think the people down the hall
[03:27.01]Know who you are
[03:28.20]
[03:28.51]Careful what you carry
[03:31.59]'Cause the man is wise
[03:34.00]You are still an outlaw in their eyes
[03:37.11]
[03:38.22]Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne
[03:43.07]Get along Kid Charlemagne
[03:45.50]
