These Are Not My People

First, your mama and your papa sent you to the finest school Never let it be said that their little darlin' was a fool So with a credit card in your good name You were drawn like a moth to a flame To the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool You had 20 20 vision but still you were walking 'round blind Yes and whether right or wrong, I'd still tag along behind But you're flyin' too high for me and if this is how it's got to be Then it's time to say you go your way, I'll go mine It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass These are not my people These are not my people Looks like the end my friend Gotta get in the wind my friend You found yourself naked in the world with no place to hide Then you felt the pulse of your God and he had died And all your rebels that have got no cause And all your tigers that have got no claws They promised you the world on a string but you know they lied You said you'd be back in a black cadillac limousine But I'm inclined to think it's not the kind you mean 'Cause when you fall down off your cloud And you're just another face in the crowd They're gonna throw you away like last weeks magazine Party pals and sociable gals These are not my people These are not my people Looks like the end my friend Gotta get in the wind my friend Looks like the end my friend Gotta get in the wind my friend
