missy is a generic reference. if you love the girl, replace missy with her name.
lyrics
i, i was the wandering clown
too smart to be tied down
too free to ever change my ways
and then i felt the gravity
and it's growing tug on me
as my tramp days ended
'cause every little thing that missy does
only makes me fall deeper in love
only makes it harder to break the chains
like i would anyway
i no longer travel to galaxies far
i am caught in orbit around her star
and in the circle i'll remain as long as she says
baby, come on
once i was the happy thief
the world laid out for me
i'd take what i want
then steal away
and then i had cuffs around my hands
in the back of a van as my free days ended
(chorus)
there that's me in that photograph
looking like i might laugh
where in the hell did that grin come from
i guess it's time that i confessed
and admit that its best
my dog days have ended
(chorus)
