LYRICS: 

Your eyes looked so tired 

That’s what I thought first

You were greatly admired 

But you were dying of thirst 

There were comebacks

 Felt like thumbtacks 

On your fingertips so fine

You belonged to the many

Never yours never mine

Weren’t we lonely 

Weren’t we sad

Weren’t we beautiful 

Weren’t we bad

Funny man

Turn and ran

In the sun

Golden one

Funny man

I’m your fan

When you died 

Oh how we cried

I was just a kid

You were just a king

Everything you did

A prayer and a wing

You always got my name wrong

Apologies the same song

That you sang to me

Words that set me free 

Weren’t we lonely 

Weren’t we sad 

Weren’t we beautiful 

Weren’t we bad

Weren’t we lonely 

Weren’t we sad

 Weren’t we beautiful 

Weren’t we bad

I can’t forgive you 

I can’t relive you 

I can’t revive you 

But I survive you 

Funny man

Turn and ran

In the sun

Golden one 

Funny man

I’m your fan

When you died

Oh how we cried

Funny man 

Morbid plan

Hearts you wrung

Gone and done 

Funny man

How you ran 

Always mine 

Never die

Funny man

We all do the best that we can 

Funny man 

We all do the best that we can
