You had your grand illusion and

wrestled with your fate

The winter of your discontent

came twenty years too late

If it was love and I was there

I've forgotten where it lives

We both stepped off a frozen rock

onto a burning bridge

You came like an invasion all bells

and whistles blowing

Reaping the rewards of the fable

you'd been sowing

I saw you cross the landing and

descending marble stairs

Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon

you seemed to walk on air

Yea I've seen your movie

And I read it in your book

The truth just flew off ever page

Your songs have all the hooks

You're seven wonders rolled in one

You shifted gear to cruise

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh the bellboys are crying and

moneys changing hands

Your cloak and dagger legacy's

gone home to no man's land

The marquee lights are flickering

your poster's fading fast

Your being here just melts

away like ice cubes in a glass

Yea I've seen your movie

And I read it in your book

The truth just flew off ever page

Your songs have all the hooks

You're seven wonders rolled in one

You shifted gear to cruise

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes
