You had your grand illusion
And wrestled with your fateThe winter of your discontent
Came twenty years too lateIf it was love, and I was there
I've forgotten where it livesWe both stepped off a frozen rock
Onto a burning bridgeYou came like an invasion
All bells and whistles blowingReaping the rewards
Of the fable you'd been sowingI saw you cross the landing
Descending marble stairs
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon
You seemed to walk on airAnd 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 shoesOh the bellboys are crying
And monies changing handsYour cloak and dagger legacies
Gone home to No Man's LandThe marquee lights are flickering
Your posters fading fast
Your being here just melts away
Like ice cubes in a glassAnd 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 hooksYou're seven wonders rolled in one
You've shifted gears to cruise
Oh you came to town in headlnes
And eight hundred dollar shoesOh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes
