King of the World (feat. Conor Oberst) Lyrics

At
Ten in the morning
I was laughing at something
At the airport terminalAt
Nine in the evening
I was sitting
Crying to you
Over the phoneWhile
Passing the border
From a state
To another
Filled with people
Whom I couldn't help
To relate toAnd we
Stopped a while
At a roadside restaurant
Where the waitress was sitting outside
Smoking in her carShe had that

Look of total
Fear in her eyes
And as we drove away from there
She looked at me
And she smiledI keep
Running around
Trying to find the ground
But my head is in the stars
And my feet are in the skyWell I'm
Nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the worldAnd once you asked me
What was my biggest fear
That things would always
Remain so unclearThat
One day I'd wake up
All alone
With a big family
And emptiness deep in
My bonesThat I would be so blinded
Turn a deaf ear
That my fake laugh would suddenly sound
SincereNow I wasn't
Born for anything
Wasn't born
To say anything
I'm just here now
And soon I'll be goneNo I'm
Nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the worldNow
Every day
There's a short
Intermission
While I sleep
They start dimming
The lightsBut I've seen everything
I ever want to see
Screaming "Fire!" in a theater
People taking their seatsWatch it all go down
Like a stone in a stream
If you fall for your reflection
You will drown
In a dreamTell me something real
Tell me something true
I just want to feel
There's something left
That I can doBut I'm
Nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the world
