Bilingual
He's in the Guggenheim
He's on prime time
Walkin' fine, so sublime
A stone cold, solid gold, multiplied by tenfold legend in his lifetime
He's throwing exhibitions, taking commissions
Still seeing visions, still on a mission
Self aware, debonair
In alligator boots and suits of powder blue mohair
He's in Vanity Fair, Modern Sportswear
New York Times, Hem Times, everywhere
Raving and misbehaving on the airwaves
Shootin' the breeze with Leno, talkin' to Letterman
Still the upsetter, man
Sued by Rip and down with the Crips
And never looked better, man
At 65, just as handsome as the day he arrived
Blue eyes clear, five movies a year
And all kinds of ads
Man, they want him so bad
It's sad, Dad, but he ain't sold out
Because inside, man, he's a counterculture holdout
Inside he's a counterculture holdout
Rolled out the red carpet, man
Way up in Hollywood
He's over what he lost, man
He even made his peace with Lew damn Wasserman
The old school boss man
He's revered, still weird
Wearing a jazz cat's beard
Coolest of the cool and nobody's fool
Damned, yes, but blessed
Passed the test and burns so bright
Psychedelic cowboy of a thousand and one nights
He's Kansas and Billy, forever in lights
Unforgettable parts played from the heart
And his greatest role, the one he played from the soul
Star blown crazy bones
Straight-eyed, sober or stoned
Out there all alone in a league of his own
Dennis Hopper

Take it from the basement
Put it on the top
Take it from the basement
Put it on the top
