Spirit of the West - Big Head

Don't let me spend my career
Wound up in a bell jar, the pop star gone too far
Don't let me end up in here
A self-centered spaceman out orbiting Graceland
Hey check out my place, man
They call it disgraceland

Don't want to be the man with the big head
Never let me be the man with the big head
I'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
Of being the man with the big head

Don't let me take up the fight
Receive benediction from president Nixon
Don't leave me too long in the lights
Or I'll drop like a king wearing Icarus wings
Lights do funny things to some
Lights make my makeup run

Don't want to be the man with the big head
Never let me be the man with the big head
I'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
Of being the man with the big head

I hope that you'll never see
Me shirtless and groovy, in love in B-movies
And when I talk about me
You'll know things have worsened
When I'm in third person
But I'm some other person
I'm somebody's person

Don't want to be the man with the big head
Never let me be the man with the big head
I'd rather live John Burrow's life instead
Of being the man with the big head
Big head, big head
