Just met this funny man
From the funny papers
Is there any other kind
Said he hadn"t heard much
About my rock n"roll band
Sure hoped he had a story in mind
He seemed indolent and carefree
Lit up a cigarette offhandedly
And then he asked me if I wanted
Some good publicity
Hey
Aren"t we just
All in the same game
You need a rag to write for
And I need one to shine up my guitar
But tell me do I really have
To talk to you
The name in bright lights
Don"t you want my picture
As you can see I look really cool
Do you want me smiling
Or the three-quarter profile
We"ve got to make this proof for the fool
Got to have that aura of mystery
Keep them guessing indefinitely
And when I drive into that wall you can say
It was such a pity
Hey
Aren"t we just
All in the same game
You need a sneaky angle
I need to fill my monthly rectangle
But tell me do I really have
To talk to you
