Magnificent Bastard

It seems I let time slip away
& it runs over the hill like a wild dog
Sometimes I get lost in the din
And take a lady dancin' to Helen's Nightclub
And then, a phone rings
I know it's that welcome voice of a friend of mine
The present situation, a short conversation
Surely would be our last

You'd never believe all the things that we've done
I still can't believe that magnificent bastard is gone

Hey man you remember that time
That I disappeared & no one knew why
A dereliction of my duties and maybe I failed
To keep it on the straight and narrow
And stay outta jail
I dropped no dime
I did no time
From the desperate corners of my mind
We thought we were bold
But then we were told
That we danced as a young man died

You'd never believe all the things that we've done
You fake it, you make it and pretend that we're on a roll
You'd never believe all the things that we saw
I still can't believe that magnificent bastard is gone

You'd never believe all the things that we saw
You fake it, you make it you've seen it & then it's gone
You'd never believe all the things that we've done
I still can't believe that magnificent bastard is gone
