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 motor home 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 glow 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 them 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 Kid Charlemagne Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne Get along

If you think this is real life If you think this is real life I made a promise to you Then took it back again I made a mess of your heart I think we're fallin' apart I made you wait in the rain You said you'd never change You said that I was unfair Your words, they poison the air It's unacceptable If you think this is real life Look and you may find Run, son, it's your sunlight Don't act so uptight You said that we should get help You thought we'd talk it out Fuck what the therapist said It's just something he read I said my summer was fine You said, "Well, that's a change!" "See I slept with one of your friends" I think you'd call this the end It's unacceptable If you think this is real life Look and you may find Oh-ooh, run, son, it's your sunlight Don't act so uptight You're so uptight You're so uptight You're so uptight I said that I would move on I thought I'd see the world But I stay in, watching the news At night I think about you It's unacceptable If you think this is real life Look and you may find Run, son, it's your sunlight Don't act so uptight If you think this is real life (You're so uptight) If you think this is real life (You're so uptight) If you think this is real life (You're so uptight) If you think this is real life (You're so uptight)

There's a passage in my mind The pocket starts of you And all the things that come with emotional ties Though memories do fade This heavy heart inside of me Hates that I said all those things to you then I'd forget you if I could I know I probably should be sleeping Not thinking this through But I can't stand it I can't stand it Fooling myself dry You're like no other Puts myself for some amnesia to keep me in line Why do I fall in love With the least bit of attention? I need some direction, affection in time I'd forget you if I could I know I probably should be sleeping Not thinking this through But I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it While I was thinking of a plan She sent the snow then took my hand I shut you out, you changed my mind The echoes fall beside the scenes where you would cry I'd forget you if I could I know I probably should be sleeping Not thinking this through But I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it I can't stand it

I'm a boy and she's a girl With more charm than most movie stars So we met through a friend We rent a place and she comes 'round to stay And now your girlfriend is ringing in my ears again It's no sure shot, but she likes all my favourite things I know I shouldn't, but I'd like to spend more time with her I wish she'd come over today What am I supposed to do? I can tell, they get along so well Is it possible, she likes me too? I'm not sure if I should read between those lines And now you're girlfriend is ringing in my ears again I should be moving out, but can't cause we've just signed a lease My hands are shaking, the bedroom walls are paper thin I heard her come over today Thought maybe we'd go out for a movie And we can forget friends who'll be fuming Then I could walk you home in the evening And that's just being friendly And now you're girlfriend is ringing in my ears again And when she smiles I can't hide my jealousy Oh I can't take it, boy, I hope she's faking it I heard he bought a ring today I heard they got engaged today
