lyrics

There once was a man all alone in his own little
world, sat upon his throne of diamonds and pearls
picked up when the ocean bed was dried up and left
for dead, little, dusty swirls. I’m very important, have you noticed? Gonna have to import some focus on me
cause I cannot survive without the wandering eye of general publicity.
On my planet of one, am I having fun yet? Didn’t
know what to do but it looked so shiny and new so I placed my bets, my bets on you. I’m the greatest,
I’m the best, I would know cause I washed out
all the rest. It only goes to show how far a loan can go. And aren’t you proud of me, Ma? I got up here and I killed ‘em all. But the money doesn’t go down as smooth in my throat but at least,
but at least, but at least, but at least I’m important.
The little man sits alone on his chair all day
wondering through the haze how it got that way
Counting the stars each night, hoping that he just might buy one or two if the price is right. I’m very important, have I told you? Biggest cock
of the walk, biggest heart, too. Although the lack
of competition might seem like a submission,
even I can beat all this decomposition
On my planet of one, am I having fun yet? Didn’t know what to do but it looked so shiny and
new. so I placed my bets, my bets, on you. I’m the
greatest, I’m the best, I would know cause I washed
out all the rest. It only goes to show how far a loan can go. And aren’t you proud of me, Ma?
I got up here and I killed ‘em all, but the money doesn’t taste as good now deep in my throat.
But at least, but at least, but at least, but at least
I’m important.
