King Of The World

At Ten in the morning
I was laughing at something
At the airport terminal
At Nine in the evening
I was sitting crying to you
Over the phone
While passing the border
From one state to another
Filled with people
Whom I couldn't help to relate to
And we
Stopped a while
At a roadside restaurant
Where the waitress was sitting outside
Smoking in her car
She had that
Look of total fear in her eyes
And as we drove away from there
She looked at me
And she smiled

I keep running around
Trying to find the ground
But my head is in the stars
And my feet are in the sky
Well I'm
Nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the world

And once you asked me
What was my biggest fear
That things would always
Remain so unclear
That one day I'd wake up
All alone with a big family
And emptiness deep in my bones
That I would be so blinded
Turn a deaf ear
That my fake laugh would suddenly sound
Sincere

Now I wasn't born for anything
Wasn't born to say anything
I'm just here now
And soon I'll be gone
No I'm nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the world

Now every day there's a short
Intermission
While I sleep they start dimming
The lights
But I've seen everything
I ever want to see
Screaming "Fire!" in a theater
People taking their seats

Watch it all go down
Like a stone in a stream
If you fall for your reflection
You will drown in a dream

Tell me something real
Tell me something true
I just want to feel
There's something left
That I can do

But I'm
Nobody's baby
I'm everybody's girl
I'm the queen of nothing
I'm the king
Of the world
