The Paul & Chevy version:
"You Can Call Me Al" ~ by Paul Simon
A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

For anyone else who's a true, mutli-music lover and purveyor of phenomenal musical experimentation and gifted musical engineering, you've no doubt heard of Alan Parsons, the creator of the Alan Parson's Project and musical engineer behind many popular artists. He is a modern day Master when it comes to blending sound, technique, theory, period piece music, interpretation, and every instrument and style known to mankind. The vocalists he chooses for his voiced pieces are great, too.
The classical harpsichords, flutes, horns, classical and electric guitars, harps, strings and the rest of the orchestral catalog in Minor come together in this extraordinary title track, "Turn of a Friendly Card." I believe even my fellow classical music mate @Pete Bondurant can (unless he's being ornery) appreciate the pristene, classical, Cathedral flavor in this first piece. I think @SpQa might enjoy it, too. I'm posting Parts 1 & 2 first and then the album for anyone who'd like to check them out. The lyrics are some of my favorites - note the sounds between Parts 1 & 2 and it'll give you a clue to what the song is about if the lyrics seem vague at first.
His interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe's work are amazing as well for anyone who'd like to google them or just click them at the end of this piece.
For the album and more, it won't embed so you have to click the link:

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
"The Turn Of A Friendly Card"
Part 1
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...
Part 2
There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
On a wheel in perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and answer all names
With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

Had to post this indie, anthem rock classic from the archives for my newer, fellow Demons who've also wondered if they were truly losing their mind... And you weren't. The rest of the world was.<3
"Breakdown" ~ Alan Parson's Project
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread.
No one can understand a word that I say.
When I breakdown just a little and lose my head,
Nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Any time it happened, I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends.
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me,
But they walk away and just pretend...
When I breakdown.
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread.

When I breakdown just a little and lose my head,
Nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me?
All they ever told me was good news...
People that I've never seen are kind to me,
Is it any wonder I'm confused?
When I breakdown...When I breakdown...
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey.
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away.
Take the wall away.
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey.
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away.
Where are all my friends?
I'm so confused..
