Ronald Koal Was a Rock Star

So beautiful and so world-weary
I met him when he was just nineteen
Around him I felt so dreary
And you know he was a living dream
Once I said he was far too Bowie
He said "Oh baby, you're so tired"
He always had a better story
But you know he was always wired

Ronald Koal was a rock star
In '81 he was the king
Ronald Koal was a rock star
In Columbus he was the thing

A nervous angel inside him waiting
He saw the world through its eyes
Saw the world's not even worth hating
All it offers is goodbyes

Ronald Koal was a rock star
He was too big for this town
Ronald Koal was a rock star
Its the small pools where you drown

Were all going to be forgotten
Lets face it - it's in store
The end is always gonna be rotten
And i hear its knock on my door
Ronald Koal was a rock star
Now he's in the sky getting blown
Ronald Koal was a rock star
Its a life you live alone
Ronald Koal was a rock star
He was a true believer
Ronald Koal was a rock star
He was a true believer
