《A Star， A Jewel， And a Hoax》歌词

[00:00:00] A Star, A Jewel, And A Hoax - John Prine

[00:00:02] He's a star

[00:00:05] But he didn't get as far

[00:00:08] As those who idolized his ways and means

[00:00:13] To prepare themselves

[00:00:14] To be better human beings

[00:00:17] Well they understood more than he had meant to say

[00:00:21] In his day

[00:00:23] But that's ok

[00:00:28] She's a jewel

[00:00:31] But her tactics are so cruel

[00:00:34] And her past affairs smelled cheap

[00:00:36] Like the perfume in her hair

[00:00:41] She lives

[00:00:42] Another life but not her own

[00:00:45] On an imaginary throne

[00:00:47] In the sky

[00:00:49] She's afraid to die

[00:00:54] Great thoughts don't come

[00:00:58] To those who try to hard

[00:01:00] To interpretate what's going on

[00:01:03] In the minds back yard

[00:01:07] So I'll leave

[00:01:08] Lest you think that I'm a hoax

[00:01:11] Like these other folks

[00:01:13] In my song

[00:01:16] Good-bye so long
