Nicotine yellow eyes
He was a friend of mine
The king of the animals
A friend of nobody's
On his arm was a black tattoo
Saying "Marie, I love you"
He walked the rock'n'roll dream
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
He was a bit like you and me
Just seeing what he wants to see
As blind as he could be
As blind as he could be
And I and I
I couldn't do anything
And I and I
I couldn't do anything
I was watching him
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Reality was not a place to be
He couldn't fight him out of this
He couldn't speak him out of this
And I and I
I couldn't do anything
And I and I
I couldn't do anything
I was watching him
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
Oh God oh God funky you're not
