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 headlnes

And eight hundred dollar shoes Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes
