Another true life story. A song about a lonely aging rich man, in a way as disenfranchised as the homeless person in the previous song.

lyrics

Jackie mastered the game
He was the king and lord of his domain
A place in the country and in town
He had the best view on the hill
But still, late nights
Jackie walked the long empty halls
White walls
In the chilly hours of the morning
All alone

Jackie knew all the rules
He watched his stocks and bonds
He was nobody's fool
He saw every angle of a deal
He knew every man has his price
His vice, somewhere
And he always got what he was after

Mr. Sly Fox
You are past your age of gold
Mr. High Roller
All your money will not stop your growing old
Life can't be bought and sold

Jackie traveled in style
He drove his big Benz down the hill to the Miracle Mile
And from his condo in the clouds
Jackie saw the bay and the lights
So bright, Gleaming
He thought of his wife, long ago
Aglow
After twenty years he still missed her

Mr. Sly Fox
You are past your age of gold
Mr. High Roller
All your money will not stop your growing old
Life can't be bought and sold
