Lyrics

Howard

[Verse 1]

Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it's been a while

But I've been dying trying to capture your brilliant smile

People like us, we are always misunderstood

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

Hold it close to your heart

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

Hold it close to your heart

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
