the man who fell down to earth
and made art of himself
the man who inspired me
he became his own art
he is a rare piece of art
there is just one like him
we had quite a similiar start
look what happened to him

attraction is always true
fascination is real
the man who fell out of love
helps me to disappear
his face in the magazines
coloured costumes of fame
appeared on the tv screen
everyone knows his name

this visitor is polite
and a painter of skies
he wrote such a funny book
all his songs are so nice
the audience admires him
spellbound fans shake his hands
and i will salute the man
like my honesty demands
