Okkervil River - Millionaire lyrics

So he rode across the country In a squad of limousines So he galloped through the pages Of a thousand magazines Here's the guitar in his hand Here are the women by his side They're fresh-f**ed from the bus bunk-bed They're giving head through that long ride And here's the monster in his hair All the young girls knew was there And they loved him fiercely for it Millionaire The scene it opens sombrely A black and burnt-out scar Across the whole entire country And here comes the child star His striding eyes on fire Through a broken blazing field He's close to tears, eyes all sincere With all the influence he wields He is entreating us His cheeks all flushed A dead wind in his hair Well we appreciate your efforts Millionaire Oh, millionaire Clap your hands and give a stunned and silent stare Oh, millionaire Strike a chord, smack a tom, I just don't care Ring a polished gong For the master now he's plastered Now he's on the runway in his robe Having circled half the globe For priests and politicians Seeking wisdom he might share They're all locked safely up inside That millionaire Say a toast with gla**es raised into the air Oh, millionaire He's much happier than you and he's a million times as rare There's a glint up in the small eyes Of the mouth upon the screen Between some teeth a speech repeated From the liquid crystal stream In strides a smiling, long-time rival In a drab, grey cotton smock He's heard it all before he says It's all just lies, it's all just talk Just this one time I will believe him But I know that it's a choice And I'm aware, but just don't care I sign my name, I raise my voice And fall disabling all the alarms Overwhelmed by all his charms Into the warm arms of another millionaire
