You arrived on the scene, like some Hollywood dream But a year with band, and you don't look so sweet
They loved you in Paris yeah, they bust you in Rome By the time you get out, you can never go home
Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards In your Alfa Romeo Oh you indefensible and cruel, and the jealousy Unimaginably cool
If they left you alone, then they wouldn't get harmed But they can't keep away, for that innocent charm
She begged you to stay clean, yeah, you tried to be strong But the days the road, are so hungry and long
You were invariably stoned, by the early show Did you think they never knew? But you gave your body and your soul, every time you played So I guess they let it go
Do the lines on you face betray your disgrace? 30 years on the scene, is way over the mean
I heard you in Tokyo, the very last time Never sounded so sad, never sounded so fine
Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards In your Alfa Romeo Oh you indefensible and cruel, but they forgave you Unimaginably cool
