Sleep til 1, you missed the sun, you never learn Package lost, return to sender The Berlin Wall fell doing 5-10 Hedging bets, chasing clout, I’ll take my fall Bought running shoes for your big mouth Someday we’ll be happy Someday on a napkin I’ll scrawl it out in Phoenicia terms how I took my fall By then you’ll be your majesty, your Kingdom
