The games that people play can only bore you But only those that know you don’t ignore you And how many times have I come there to restore you And caught you lying on the couch with father time And the clock on the wall is a bore As you wander past the door and find him lying on the floor As he begs you for some more, you frozen smile ---

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard, Some that you recognize, some that you’ve hardly even heard of, People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame, Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain. ---

I let it fall, my heart And as it fell, you rose to claim it It was dark and I was over Until you kissed my lips and you saved me My hands, they’re strong But my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms Without falling to your feet But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cry 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name ---

Old Billy Joe and Tommy, well they went a little far, They were sitting in my backyard blowing on the siren in somebody’s police car. So you see, your honour, It was all in fun, That little bitty track meet down on main street, Was just to see if the cops could run, Well, they run us in to see you, In an alcoholic haze, I can sure use those thirty days to recover from the party. ---

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten Colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back Of each one, sat down. Man came in said, “All rise.” We all stood up, And Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy Pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he Sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the Twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows And a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog. And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, 'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American Blind justice, and there wasn’t nothing he could do about it, and the Judge wasn’t going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy Pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each One explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And We was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but that’s not What I came to tell you about. ---
