Top of the World
Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost word.
They say its time that you lost your crown.
[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch you
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face
[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
And you will, Yeah you will, and you will
[Chorus x2]
Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you what 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost word.
They say its time that you lost your crown.
[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch you
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face
[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
And you will, Yeah you will, and you will
[Chorus x2]
Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you what 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
