Kid Charlemagne - Karaoke

Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan

using singshot.com



While the music played you worked by candle light.
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town.

Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a 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've had it all.
You'd go to LA 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?

Now your patrons have all left you in the red.
Your low-rent friends are dead.
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

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.
