lyrics

I was lying in a burned-out basement
Didn't even have a moon in my eyes
All I had as friends were ants and spiders
And instead of birds I had flies

I was the prince of my princedom
I ruled it with an iron hand
And if my subjects didn't like it
I would make them leave my land

Been down so long it looks like up to me

While evil and shame endure
Not to see
Not to feel
Is my good fortune

I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
They had come to take us out of this crazy world
But somehow they got none

I blew the fife in my fiefdom
I set the code for how we would dress
I made it up out of whole cloth
I wanted more not less
