Ordinary Man

Well I met Don Quixote
In a bar the other night
He looked a little pale
But he said he was alright
He loved Dulcena
But she left him all the same
For a long black limo
And a pound of rock cocaine

He looked into his whiskey
And he took a little sip
He said "I never had much money
And I've never been too hip
I couldn't buy her clothes
I couldn't buy her that great big boat
But I always held the door for her
And helped her with her coat"

Then he turned to me and said
"I hope you understand
Yeah, it's tough to be
Just an ordinary man"

Well I ran into Jesus
At a luxury hotel
I could see by his expression
That he wasn't feeling well
I said "What's the matter?"
He said "Everything is cool"
Turned my Perrier to wine
Then he walked accross the pool

I stepped right up and said
"This seems a little odd"
He said, "Steve, it ain't easy
To be the son of God
And sometimes I wonder
If I've got what it takes
To assume responsibility
For everyone's mistakes"

Then he turned to me and said
"I hope you understand
All I want to be
Is an ordinary man"

Well the devil left a message
On my answering machine
He said, "I see you're going nowhere
So I thought I'd make the scene
If you make a few concessions
Maybe I could lend a hand
And you won't have to be
No ordinary man"

Well I called up the devil
And said, "I think I'm gonna pass
Indeed I'm kinda happy
Despite my sorry ass
I don't need fame or fortune
I don't need you
All I need is my buxom woman
And an occassional brew

Then I turned to him and said,
"I hope you understand
All I want to be
Is an ordinary man"
