Howard Songtext / Lyric

Mr. Hughes, how are you?

I know it's been a while

But I've been dying, trying to capture

A billion smiles

People like us, we are

Always misunderstood

Though there's ups and downs the bad outshines the good

Howard you're a 10, but

I'm not sure this ends well

Hold it close to your heart



What ever happened to Howard Hughes?

I guess life wasn't good to you

You gave it all you got, and still they threw you out

For being you

Even with our success we're as good as dead

Our worst critics were in our head

Society don't accept me or you

And all our friends agree






People say we're done for

We're liabilities

But I brought property on the thin line between genius and insanity

You wrote the books on brains and wealth, and looks

Ahead of both our times

Free thinkers only thrive in history books

Howard you're a 10, but

I'm not sure this ends well

Hold it close to your heart



What ever happened to Howard Hughes?

I guess life wasn't good to you

You gave it all you got, and still they threw you out

For being you

Even with our success we're as good as dead

Our worst critics were in our head

Society don't accept me or you

And all our friends agree



Howard, my dear

Was it films and planes that made you this way?

Howard, my dear

They spoke and we're jokes

Howard you're a 10, but I'm not sure this ends well

Hold it close to your heart



What ever happened to Howard Hughes?

I guess life wasn't good to you

You gave it all you got, and still they threw you out

For being you

Even with our success we're as good as dead

Our worst critics were in our head

Society don't accept me or you

And all our friends agree
