Hello Mr. Big Shot Say, you're looking smart I've had a tiring day I took the kids along to the park
You've become a stranger Every night with the boys Got a new suit That old smile's come back And I kiss the children good night And I slip away on the newly waxed floor
I've become a giant I fill every street I dwarf the rooftops I hunchback the moon
Stars dance at my feet Leave it all behind me Screaming kids on my knee And the telly swallowing me And the neighbor shouting next door And the subway trembling the roller-skate floor
I seek the buildings blazing with moonlight In Channing Way Their very eyes seem to suck you in with their laughter They seem to say
You're all right now So stop a while behind our smile In Channing Way
Oh to die of kisses Ecstasies and charms Pavements of poets will write that I died In nine angel's arms
And they all were smiling Still seductive as sin in their eyes The man I had been No more hard luck stories to wear Nothing left to give Why the hell should I care
Ann owns my smile and Mary's my shadow In Channing Way And with her cellophane sighs Celina the candle Begs me to stay
You're all right now So stop a while behind our smile In Channing Way
