FREE MAN IN PARIS

"The way I see it," he said
"You just can t win it...
Everybody s in it for their own gain
You can t please em all
There s always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There s a lot of people asking for my time
They re trying to get ahead
They re trying to be a good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one s future to decide
You know I d go back there tomorrow
But for the work I ve taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I d just walk through those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I ll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one s future to decide
You know I d go back there tomorrow
But for the work I ve taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song."
