White Monkey

Some people are magicI knew a wizard once
Waved a spell over everyone
Walked on stage and became the sun
Guitar in hand he sang to me
The little girl he'd rarely see
I remember watching all the women fighting for his smile
I remember asking him why he couldn't stay a while
Hey why can't you stay a while
(He said) Come here now, I do love you
But I love my freedom too
It's just the way it has to be
Standing still just isn't me
Then he gave me a white monkey
I can still recall his laughter as it sang New York, New York
He said there's no-one like Sinatra
Some people are magic
I kept a book and filled it with his life
Different barbie-doll each week
Sold out concerts no more seats
Health alert for music star
Drank too much and crashed his car
(He said) Come here now, I do love you
But I love my freedom too
It's just the way it has to be
Standing still just isn't me
Then he gave me a white monkey
I can still recall his laughter as it sang New York, New York
He said there's no-one like Sinatra
Try to touch it, c-catch it
There's just no way you can snatch it
T-touch it, c-catch it
There's just no way you can catch it
Some people are magic
I knew a wizard once
Five months I had him
Best months of my life
He almost became real
Come here now, I do love you
But I love my freedom too
It's just the way it has to be
