Why I Am
I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Until I was slave and master at the same damn time
It's why I am
It's why I am
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room hello
King of men it makes no sense
Oh when I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
But it's why I am always the one to make you smile
Why I am still a snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry
The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
It's the you and me of the world
But only one way out of the world
It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
Why I am unlikely to agree
Why I am climbing out of my monkey tree
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
And when my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or hell I'm going down with the Groo Grux King
Why I am the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Until I was slave and master at the same damn time
It's why I am
It's why I am
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room hello
King of men it makes no sense
Oh when I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
But it's why I am always the one to make you smile
Why I am still a snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry
The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
It's the you and me of the world
But only one way out of the world
It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
Why I am unlikely to agree
Why I am climbing out of my monkey tree
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
And when my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or hell I'm going down with the Groo Grux King
Why I am the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry
