He closed his eyes on a Tuesday
When the weather turned warm
A life of lies and betrayals
Was ended in a darkened scene

O, charlatan
Was just a charlatan
Hey charlatan
He was just a charlatan

He was lost at home; but he was found on the streets
Made his living on the avenues
Giving nothing to no one; taking all he could

O, charlatan
Was just a charlatan
Hey charlatan
He was just a charlatan
