LEGEND

By DANNY VALE
LEGEND

I’ve watched you from a distance
watched you from afar
I’ve got your pictures on my wall
Mister Superstar.

I’ve listened to all your songs
know them all by heart
you’ve been my hero for long enough
envied you from the start.

But I’m tired of all this distance
this worship from afar
John, it’s time to get close to you
and change the way you really are.

Yeah one day
I’ll get near, near to you, John
yeah one day soon
I’m gonna get close
real close to you, John
gonna get real close to you
and there’s nothing
you can do.

I jetted in from Hawaii
although I hate to fly
I passed the time cleaning my gun
and reading Catcher In The Rye.

I checked out your apartment
can’t afford a lapse
as usual there were fans of yours
taking photographs.

The one taken outside the Dakota
hey man, ain’t that a laugh
I’m standing right behind you
just after you gave me your autograph!

Yeah I’ve got near
near to you, John
told you I’d get close
real close to you, John
closing in on you
and there’s nothing
you can do.

I returned a few hours later
waited patiently
I knew what I was gonna do
understood my destiny.

My own life’s pretty shabby
nothing quite worked out for me
but it’s time for that to change
to change from Mister Nobody.

You were walking on thin ice
when you strolled to those stairs
I drew the gun, I felt quite calm
people screaming everywhere.

Yoko was right beside you
but it’s you I’m here to kill
saw four bullets hit you
hey man, what a thrill!

And when the killing’s over
yes and when they ask me why
I’ll just shrug and maybe say
that I’m just a jealous guy.

Yeah I got near
near to you, John
told you I’d get close
real close to you, John
well I got close to you
and there was nothing
you could do.

If there was anyone in this world
anyone that I could be
I’d love to have been you, John
you were my double fantasy.

But there ain’t no room for both of us
hey that’s what I’ll tell the Judge
can’t have two of me in this world
there’s only one of us.

The Court did not believe me
but they couldn’t quite decide
so it looks like I’ve committed
this living suicide.

They sentenced me to life in jail
seems like an eternity
with other lunatics I’m caged
never to be freed.

So now I’m famous too, John
but it’s quite a different kind
whereas you are a legend
I’m just a legend in my own mind.

But I got near
near to you, John
didn’t I get close
real close to you, John
yeah I got near
near to you, John
close, real close to you, John
and there was nothing
you could do
just nothing
you could do.
