life has left him

high and dry

standing in the subway

but he´s releasing butterflies

playing in the subway

i guess that man

who plays the saxophone

is suffering a lot

i bet he doesn´t like to be alone

and he´s not happy with what he´s got

i guess that fellow used to be star

but he declined for various reasons

he lost his house

and he lost his car

but still his light shines

through the winter season

he is a has been

i´m a wannabe

guess there are lessons

that i should be learning

like: of you wanna stay

completely free

protect your candle

or it will start burning

don´t even bother

with the junkie girls

and hold on tight to

every single nickel

life can drive you mad

so don´t let it loose

you may end up like
