Kid Charlemagne Lyrics - A Decade Of Steely Dan - Steely Dan

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 

Did you feel like Jesus? 

Did you realize 

That you were a champion in their eyes

On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene 

But yours was kitchen clean 

Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motorhome 

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 

Could you live forever? 

Could you see the day? 

Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away? 

Get along get along Kid Charlemagne 

Get along Kid Charlemagne 

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 their face 

They've joined the human race 

Some things will never change 

Photos 

Son you were mistaken 

You are obsolete 

Look at all the white men on the street 

Get along get along Kid Charlemagne 

Get along Kid Charlemagne 

Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail 

Those test tubes and the scale 

Just get it all outta 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 

Careful what you carry 

'Cause the man is wise 

You are still an outlaw in their eyes 

Get along get along get along Kid Charlemagne 

Get along get along Kid Charlemagne
