These Are Not My People (Rerecorded)

First, your mama and your papa sent you to the finest school

Never let it be said that their little darlin' was a fool

So with a credit card in your good name

You were drawn like a moth to a flame

To the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool

You had 20 20 vision but still you were walking 'round blind

Yes and whether right or wrong, I'd still tag along behind

But you're flyin' too high for me and if this is how it's got to be

Then it's time to say you go your way, I'll go mine

It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass

These are not my people

These are not my people

Looks like the end my friend

Gotta get in the wind my friend

You found yourself naked in the world with no place to hide

Then you felt the pulse of your God and he had died

And all your rebels that have got no cause

And all your tigers that have got no claws

They promised you the world on a string but you know they lied

You said you'd be back in a black cadillac limousine

But I'm inclined to think it's not the kind you mean

'Cause when you fall down off your cloud

And you're just another face in the crowd

They're gonna throw you away like last weeks magazine

Party pals and sociable gals

These are not my people

These are not my people

Looks like the end my friend

Gotta get in the wind my friend

Looks like the end my friend

Gotta get in the wind my friend
