歌词
While the music played you worked by candlelight
当他们演奏音乐时,你却在烛光下工作,
Those San Francisco nights
那些旧金山的夜晚,
You were the best in town
你是城里的第一。
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
偶然中,你将钻石与珍珠交杂,
You turned it on the world
点亮了这个世界时,
That's when you turned the world around
也就将它反转。
Did you feel like Jesus
你是否觉得自己像个救世主?
Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes

On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
山坡上卖的行货掺了煤油,
But yours was kitchen clean
但你的制品干干净净,
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
人人都停下看你那辆颜色斑斓的房车,
Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
每户住在A型屋顶(豪宅)下的人家,都留着你的电话。
You must have had it all
这时你一定拥有一切,
You'd go to L.A.on a dare
激将一句,就去了洛杉矶
And you'd go it alone
还是一人独行。
Could you live forever
你能永远长生吗?
Could you see the day
你能预见到那一天吗?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
你能否感觉到,你的整个世界正在瓦解、消逝。

Get along Kid Charlemagne
过下去,查理曼小子。
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
现在金主们弃你于窘境中,
Your low rent friends are dead
你潦倒的朋友们也死了,
This life can be very strange
生活可以变得相当陌生。
All those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face
所有曾在脸上涂色的荧光衣怪客,
They've joined the human race
他们加入了人流,
Some things will never change
有些事永远也不会改变。
Son you were mistaken
孩子,以前你弄错了,
You are obsolete
现在你过了气,
Look at all the white men on the street
看看街上的那些“白人”吧。
CHORUS Get along,get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid Charlemagne
查理曼小子,你得过下去,过下去
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail Those test tubes and the scale
适应它,查理曼小子。
Just get them all out of here
去把烂摊子收拾好,不然我们全都会落进监牢,
Is there gas in the car
那一些试管,这一种刻度,
Yes,there's gas in the car
把它们从这儿弄走吧。
I think the people down the hall
车里还有油吗?
Know who you are
是的,这儿,车里还有油,
Careful what you carry
我想,门廊前的人
'Cause the man is wise
知道你是谁。
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
当心你所带着的东西,
CHORUS:Get along,get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid Charlemagne
因为那人明白,
