lyrics

When you are famous
I'll write you letters
I'll keep your secrets
till someone pays me better

And then I'll tell the magazines all that I know
but only the good things
only the good things

The things you gave me
Without realizing
Your cast-off cargo
kept my vessel from capsizing

Though I regret some of the jetsam that I stole,
I kept the good things
only the good things

You sign sincerely
sometimes Yours Truly
These fifteen pages
will someday sell for money

I'll tear the bottom
off every message
No need for autographs
when I have words you told me in the best of confidence

When you were lonely
Meant only for me
At least I hope so

Will you forget me
as you grow hungry?
Too many questions
for someone who's so busy

Because I know to grow you have to shed the old
Just keep the good things
Only the good things

Will you still keep me?
Do you still need me?

Will you still keep me?
Do you still need me?

and I'll watch you walk across a silver stage
and televise the face that made me change
but I don't know what we became.
