Kid Charlemagne (Live From The Orpheum Theatre)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you feel like Jesus?
Did you realize
You were a champion in their eyes?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you live forever?
Could you see the day?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?

[Chorus]
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne

[Verse 3]
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-Glo freaks who used to paint the face
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change

[Pre-Chorus]
Son, you were mistaken
You are obsolete
Look at all the white men on the street

[Chorus]
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get 'em 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Careful what you carry
'Cause the man is wise
You are still an outlaw in their eyes

[Chorus]
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne

[Outro]
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
