Steely Dan - Charlie Freak Lyrics
Charlie freak had but one thing to call his ownThree weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stoneFive nights without a biteNo place to lay his headAnd if nobody takes him inHell soon be deadOn the street he spied my face I heard him hailIn our plot of frozen space he told his talePoor man, he showed his handSo righteous was his needAnd me so wise I bought his prizeFor chicken feedNewfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mindClose inspection fast revealed his favorite kindPoor kid, he overdidEmbraced the spreading hazeAnd while he sighed his body diedIn fifteen waysWhen I heard I grabbed a cab to where he layround his arm the plastic tag read d.o.a.Yes jack, I gave it backThe ring I could not ownNow come my friend Ill take your handAnd lead you home
