This is what I hear : Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been dying trying to catch your brilliant smile.

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 used [I he?]. Even if our success were as good as dead, our worst critics were in our heads. 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 if our success were as good as dead, our worst critics were in our heads. 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 if our success were as good as dead, our worst critics were in our heads. Society don’t accept me or you and all our friends agree.
