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
