A Star, A Jewel, And A Hoax - John Prine[00:00:00]
He's a star[00:00:02]
But he didn't get as far[00:00:05]
As those who idolized his ways and means[00:00:08]
To prepare themselves[00:00:13]
To be better human beings[00:00:14]
Well they understood more than he had meant to say[00:00:17]
In his day[00:00:21]
But that's ok[00:00:23]
She's a jewel[00:00:28]
But her tactics are so cruel[00:00:31]
And her past affairs smelled cheap[00:00:34]
Like the perfume in her hair[00:00:36]
She lives[00:00:41]
Another life but not her own[00:00:42]
On an imaginary throne[00:00:45]
In the sky[00:00:47]
She's afraid to die[00:00:49]
Great thoughts don't come[00:00:54]
To those who try to hard[00:00:58]
To interpretate what's going on[00:01:00]
In the minds back yard[00:01:03]
So I'll leave[00:01:07]
Lest you think that I'm a hoax[00:01:08]
Like these other folks[00:01:11]
In my song[00:01:13]
Good-bye so long[00:01:16]
