Big Head

don't let me spend my career
wound up in a bell jar the pop star gone too far
don't let me end up in here
a self-centered spaceman out orbiting graceland
hey check out my placeman
this is disgraceland

i don't want to be the man with the big head
never let me be the man with the big head
i'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
of being the man with the big head

don't let me take up the fight
receive benediction from president nixon
don't leave me too long in the lights
i'll drop like the king wearing lcarus wings
lights do funny things to some
lights make my makeup run

i don't want to be the man with the big head
never let me be the man with the big head
i'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
of being the man with the big head

i hope that you'll never see
me shirtless and groovy, in love in B movies
and when i talk about me
you'll know things have worsened
when i'm in the 3rd person
i'm some other person
i'm somebody's purse and

i don't want to be the man with the big head
never let me be the man with the big head
i'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
of being the man with the big head
