I need the man, he is my father figure
I'm a tall guy, I'm taller than him, but he's really bigger
As for buddies, he's got one less, a better man for it nevertheless
A jelly figure I digress
A shadow figure, take one guess
Was once a young boy shadow figure
Now he requires a father figure
Sir Edgar Fahlberg questioned his loyalty and he will rather, I'm talking royalty
You don't understand that, I'm talking royalty
I wrote these words so good that we'll go to heaven
Was in at the start, an integral part, remember '77?
A delicate file wreckage of born
If you can't teach and if you can't preach, at least be taught it
As for buddies, he's got one less a better man for it nevertheless
A jelly figure I digress
A shadow figure, take one guess
Was once a young boy shadow figure
Now he requires a father figure
Sir Edgar Fahlberg questioned his loyalty and he will rather, I'm talking royalty
Vision of Stef, although you don't say a word, with god on my side
I needn't hide
I could rule the world
It's funny watching a bum curl up and wither
Sell me down the river
As for buddies, he's got one less a better man for it nevertheless
A jelly figure I digress
A shadow figure, take one guess
Was once a young boy shadow figure
Now he requires a father figure
Sir Edgar Fahlberg questioned his loyalty and he will rather, I'm talking royalty
You just don't understand man, I'm talking royalty
Sell me down the river
