Charlemagne

A ragamuffin

With next to nothing

They filled you full of sunshine

But you ran off in the rain

To the city

Still semi pretty

Charlemagne

I was your starter

But you were smarter

Because you always knew

We were a temporary thing

Love in the rubble

Always in trouble

Charlemagne

Mix desperation

With inspiration

And a vision of the bright lights

Imprinted on your brain

So smooth to touch

But you played rough

Charlemagne

Charlemagne

I would have walked a hundred miles in the rain

Charlemagne

Just to see you smile or hear you call my name

Charlemagne

That morning when I woke up in your shower

I knew I'd never be the same

We got busted

And then entrusted

To do something about the government, or was it climate change

Just breaking something

Was the main thing

Charlemagne

You said our movement

Needed improvement

It didn't take too long for you

To gather up the reins

And push the others

Into the gutter

Charlemagne

But revolution

Is just illusion

And you longed for something harder,

To push into your veins

Something with action

And a hint of fashion

Charlemagne

Up at the state house

With a thirst for chaos

The political establishment

Would never be the same

You caused a riot

Just to try it

Charlemagne

Charlemagne

When it all went down you vanished like a ghost

Charlemagne

While I just stood there like a soldier at his post

Charlemagne

Broke and busted once again,

But that's what really hurt the most

Once you were famous

For being shameless

That's why I hardly recognized you when I found you yesterday

The transformation

Is quite amazing

Charlemagne

It knocked me over

To see your Rover

With you behind the wheel like you had never been away

To the manner born

Safe and warm

Charlemagne

And now you're married

To a guy named Harry

You always said that rich boys were the easiest to train

I bet he wonders

About those tattoos

Charlemagne

And when it's over

My crystal lover

And you want someone who understands you never will explain

If you still love it

And you're not above it

If you still need it

And you're not defeated

If you still want me

Come back and get me

Charlemagne
