Acquaintance — a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor or obscure, and intimate when he is rich or famous.
NO! That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
I mean it is hard enough being a star, but when there is nobody there to worship you, it is damn near impossible.
You look famous, let's be friends
And portray we possess something important.
And do the things we'd like
— You're this far from famous.
— Oh, It'll pass.
They love you when you are on all the covers.
When you are not then they love another.
