Every day you see if you're a star like me
An endless line of people
Some love, some hate you
Some only try to make a fool out of you

But every once in a while
Someone's passin' by you just can't get of your mind
Someone passin' by
Gives you that precious little grain
That makes you feel real
& keeps you out of the rain
(it feels like love - ) let's get lost

Some people try to sound like big money
Others overlaugh when things ain't funny
I was lookin' into many eyes in vain
I've been hooked on lies insane

Every day you see if you're a star like me
An endless line of people
Some love, some hate you
Some only try to make a fool out of you

If life is drivin' you to drink
You sit around wonderin'
Don't know what to think
There's always somebody hangin' round
Playin' with dynamite
You told me back in '68
I was goin' down the ?
You were goin' straight
But I remember in '74
You wanted me to hang around & take some more
My mama told me, daddy said it right
Son you're just committin'g suicide
Drinkin' & gamblin', stayin' out all night
Just livin' in a fool's paradise

Let's get lost
