Glam Rock King

 You were the Main Man Yes you were Yes you were Yes you were

Your people were fair with sky in their hair

And always content to paint stars on a cheek


Maybe our Prophet seers and sages

sent you to us by angels of ages

Did you ride in upon a Unicorn?

Upon a white swan were you born


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


To Boogie and bop to Cosmic Rock

Your compadre Steve looked a little weird

With mangled hair and stars in his beard

Why did you shorten your band name to a T

Tyrannosaurus suited thee


Maybe you thought that it looked better 

When printed on a Glitter dusted sweater

You pushed the pedal and became the man

The first of many whom were so Glam


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


The blues in you then came into view

Getting it on with Hot love too

My favorite Time and maybe yours

When your lyrics changed to include Cars


The sound of the Sax and Flugel Horn

Flo and Eddie keeping it warm

Tony Visconti Pulling strings and some

Life was a gas under a Mambo Sun


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down


Taking no prisoners Banging Your Gong 

Jeepster Followed Get it on

Telegram Sam turned up the Heat

Metal Guru with blistering Beat


The Period between seventy and Seventy Four

The best in life I wanted more

The Wax company doing it for Me

For I was a child born to Boogie


I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp

I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


I was nothing but a cosmic child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time twentieth Century


I was nothing but a Cosmic Child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time Twentieth Century


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around
