Lyrics

Once he swaggered down the sidewalks, hail to the chief in tune All the world upon a stage, and he, the sun at noon But time has spun its fateful thread, fortunes rise and fall Now the piper’s come for payment, no more the gallant stall Front page fodder, lines of laughter, how the mighty reel Silver spoons to plastic forks, the shifting of the wheel Trumpets blare in old Manhattan, hear the news unfurl Donnie's run has met its curtain, oh the twist and twirl Marble gold to rusted iron, falls the grand façade Merry mock the masses cheering, end of the charade! Tall and tarny, not so sprightly, ego's bruised and blue Mealy mouthed the moguls whisper, 'Don, it's not for you!' Papers served with morning coffee, lawsuits line the desk Writs and whispers, legal battles, put him to the test Grand parades to court processions, the showman's twilight fades Bright lights dimmed, the crowds dispersing, the last cards are played [Chorus] Oh, the rise and fall in the city's thrall, a king who's lost his crown In the court's harsh light, no more the fight, the man of gold turned brown [Chorus] The final bow in the spotlight's glow, a titan takes his leave Brick by brick the empire crumbles, no more aces up his sleeve Dethroned, dejected, in the silence, echoes of a past renown Farewell, the chapter closes softly, the man of gold turned brown [Bridge] Curtain call on gilded dreams, whispers through the town The king who soared on borrowed wings, sees castles tumble down [All together] Fare thee well, ye gilded giant, once so fierce and proud Echoes fade of roaring triumphs, 'neath the shroud of clouds [Harmonized] See the crowd, they gather 'round, the whispers now a roar Charting stories of a titan, who will soar no more [All together] Beneath the bright marquee, dimmed lights we now behold A tale of one who flew so high, and watched his world unfold
