You arrived on the scene, like some Hollywood dream
But a year with band, and you don’t look so sweet

They loved you in Paris yeah, they bust you in Rome
By the time you get out, you can never go home

Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards
In your Alfa Romeo
Oh you indefensible and cruel, and the jealousy
Unimaginably cool

If they left you alone, then they wouldn’t get harmed
But they can’t keep away, for that innocent charm

She begged you to stay clean, yeah, you tried to be strong
But the days the road, are so hungry and long

You were invariably stoned, by the early show
Did you think they never knew?
But you gave your body and your soul, every time you played
So I guess they let it go

Do the lines on you face betray your disgrace?
30 years on the scene, is way over the mean

I heard you in Tokyo, the very last time
Never sounded so sad, never sounded so fine

Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards
In your Alfa Romeo
Oh you indefensible and cruel, but they forgave you
Unimaginably cool
