Cool Millions

So you  won a cool five million
Friends and family come out of the woodwork, even from the pavilion
You claim your life won't change
You distant yourself, become estranged
Fifty dollar tips for a ten dollar meal
You get a flat tire, so you buy a new set of wheels
You go from a two bedroom home
To an eighteen bedroom party zone
The honeys that used to spit on you
Now they treat you like a Guru
Sylvia said you couldn't buy her love
Now in your arms, you have your Snow White Dove
The purity from her was never there
She threatens to leave, you no longer care
Cocaine and speed are always on your menu
Parents of a minor female threaten to sue
You settle out of court, all your money you have blown
Now you are the Jester, no longer the King of your throne
So now it's back to skid row
You are back to living under the bridge as a troll
