What's gotten into you James?
Now you're eating white meat,
you're wearing clean clothes
What in your head has gone wrong?
Has the earth got you down?
You're wearing a frown, sorry James
For you'll forever be,
the only one who's free,
but only in your dreams
All through the day, James,
he'd stop and he'd say,
"What a beautiful day to be slipping away...",
sorry James
Now that you're walking in stride,
may your past be your pride,
you're crass,
but it's only a side of you that no one knows,
but don't worry it shows,
you're mad and you're closed (?),
sorry James
For you'll forever be,
the only one who's free,
but only in your dreams
All through the day, James,
he'd stop and he'd say,
"What a beautiful day to be slipping away...",
Sorry James, but it' over,
you're sad that you're old,
now the thought's taking over you,
over and over again
Now you're eating white meat,
you're wearing clean clothes
What in your head has gone wrong?
Has the earth got you down?
You're wearing a frown, sorry James
For you'll forever be,
the only one who's free,
but only in your dreams
All through the day, James,
