Almost Famous

Infamy is like charity One's for the free and the other pity Nobody can really see these things that I seem to mean Though really who can be Seeing me if I don't show myself freely? These things I do these things I say Don't start up or go away Always floating around my head Next stop's not gonna be 'till after I'm dead I don't understand these kind of changes But that won't stop my life's rearranges No one feels the rich like they feel poor No one seems to know anyone anymore All these faces, all these falls All these places, all these walls On top of these things are southern drawls That never seem to to fill the calls Never once have I seen the sights Always been too busy with my private fights Can't think how to rhyme this right So I guess I'll stay up all night My words don't pull at anyone's strings So no one hears my poems ring No one can call throughout the day Or have these ideas, they're all stray Right now these feelings are all to heinous Guess I'll just stay almost famous
