The Fall of the Worlds Own Optimist |
There’s no charity in you |
And that surprises me |
I guess I thought you were |
A golden idol |
'Cause I called you majesty |
On the balustrade |
You watched me hunt for tips |
I was obliged to pick up |
From the passing trade |
Hey, kids-look at this |
It’s the fall of the world’s own optimist |
I could get back up if you insist |
But you’ll have to ask politely |
'Cause the eggshells I’ve been treading |
Couldn’t spare me a beheading |
And I’ll know I had it coming |
From a Caesar who was only slumming |
Hey, kids-look at this |
It’s the fall of the world’s own optimist |
Well, I could have objections |
Which you could override |
But what’s the point |
We’re only flogging the horse |
When the horseman has up and died |
Once I testified |
And swore I’d never leave a stone unturned |
I bet you’re really glad that I lied |
Hey, kids-look at this |
It’s the fall of the world’s own optimist |
I could get back up if you insist |
But you’ll have to ask politely |
'Cause the eggshells I’ve been treading |
Couldn’t spare me a beheading |
And I’ll know I had it coming |
From a Caesar who was only slumming |
Hey, kids-look at this |
It’s the fall of the world’s own optimist |
Hey, kids-look at this |
It’s the fall of the world’s own optimist |
I could get back up if you insist |
But you’ll have to ask politely |
Yes, you’ll have to ask politely |
Yes, you’ll have to ask politely |
