Spaceball Ricochet

I'm just a man,
I understand the wind
And all the things
That make the children cry.

With my Les Paul,
I know I'm small
But I enjoy living
Anyway.

Book after book,
I get hooked every time
The writer talks to me
Like a friend.

What can I do?
We just live in a zoo,
All I do is play
The spaceball ricochet.

Deep in my heart
There's a house
That can hold
Almost all of you.

I bought a car,
It was old but kind
I gave it my mind
And it disappeared.

I love a girl,
She is a changeless angel,
She's a city,
It's a pity that I'm like me.

I said, how can I lay
When all I do is play
The spaceball ricochet?
