Poor Charlie
you're an addict
we all can see it
grandiose
your producer says he doesn't do what you do
and he'll be angry if he dies first
and you say, "See? He thinks I'm Superman!"
He thinks you'll overdose and die
and so do I
poor Charlie
you say what addicts say
not me
I'm different
I can stop exactly when I decide
It's willpower
I'm cured
I put down the drugs
I won't pick them up
I did enough to kill any mere mortal
And it was fun for everyone
though I don't remember it
We can all see you lie
And that's what addicts do
Lie and lie
But don't forget
Poor Charlie
the only one who believes the lies
by now
is you
