Из альбома: Donut Comes Alive
How the great have fallen
See how life has passed them by
Was anybody looking at the crystal ball
When his star was on the rise?
Stuffing his face with
canned ham sandwich spread
He was on the road to stardom
Stayed a salesman instead
What Happened?
What makes one kid a star
What makes the other
just another woman's child?
I watch the TV, watch the fat kid grin
Watch America go wild
But he's not the famous child star anymore
He's just a funny-looking guy at the stereo store
(chorus)
The fickleness of fame and fortune's caprice
Together changed the life of Mason Reese,
(Well, come on)
You can still see Mason in the Underwood ads
at the back of your mind
Or you can see mason at the Crazy Eddie store
on the Upper West Side
Watching Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis
He knows how much old dwarf child stars mean to us
(chorus)
