No One Came
Maybe it's because I'm only startingThat I think it won't take too long.Maybe it's because I can see you laughingThat I think you've got it wrong.Maybe I could be like Robin HoodLike an outlaw dressed all in green.Someone said what's he gonna turn out likeAnd someone else said never mind.Well I was big and bold and more than twice as oldAs all the cats I'd ever seen.I grew big hair and bought a suitOf shiny white or was it cream,I shook and shivered, danced and quiveredAnd stood on a mountain top.No one came from miles ground and said"Man, your music is really hot".
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freakMy throat was tired and worn.My pretty lace just looked out of placeAs they poured on the scorn.I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king,He said my boy we have some crazy scenesThere weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' aboutHe must've been the king of Queens.Well I could write a million songs about things I've doneBut I could never sing them so they'd never get sung.There's a law for the rich and one for the poor andThere's another one lor singersIt's die young and live much longerSpend your money and sit and wonder.No one came from miles around and said"Man, your music is really funky".
I believe that I must tell the truthAnd say things as they really are.But if I told the truth and nothing but the truthCould I ever be the star?Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'?Everyone's shouting out loudIt's only the glitter and shine that gets thru'Where's my Robin Hood outfit.Well I've come and I've gone soon before you wink an eyeNo one ever care enough to say goodbyeThe money's good and the time you haveFun and games galoreBut you spend your money and lie in bed forgottenAnd you wonder what you did it for.No one came for miles aroundAnd said Man, who's he?
