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 Descending marble stairs
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon You seemed to walk on air
And yeah I've seen your movie And I read it in your book The truth just flew off every page Your songs have all the hooks
You're seven wonders rolled in one You've shifted gears to cruise Oh you came to town in headlines And eight hundred dollar shoes
Oh the bellboys are crying And monies changing hands
Your cloak and dagger legacies Gone home to No Man's Land
The marquee lights are flickering Your posters fading fast
Your being here just melts away Like ice cubes in a glass
And yeah I've seen your movie And I read it in your book The truth just flew off every page Your songs have all the hooks
You're seven wonders rolled in one You've shifted gears 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
