lyrics

I’m not used to dudes who take walks when their thoughts are loud
I’m used to the bubble and the bubble will pop if you think you’re proud
Have you seen the king on his throne of so many years
He brings the boys to their knees and the boys eyes are full of tears

But where does it go
All the ideas and things that you made in a little pond
Where does it go
When the bubble keeps you home

I never wanted to wander too far
Now I’m afraid I won’t see it all
You spun me round in your not fancy car
Who knew the king would eventually fall

There are many queens walking circles round this gigantic planet
Not a lot get the credit in the bubble run by princes reciting Hamlet
Woe is me to be or not to be is that the question
These ladies know what they want and they’ve got too much time to teach you a lesson

But where do they go
When all the power is never in their control
Where do they go
When the bubble keeps them home

There are many suitors unsuitable for me
not a lot of room in this bubble for a magic matrimony
I once met a serf a peasant sweet as can be
Hid away from the castle but the bubble came back to devour me

I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
But I got good at it
I got good at it

I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
Never wanted to run
But I got good at it
You taught me how to spit

I never wanted to run
But now it’s fun
Oh I got good at it
I got good at it
It’s never told
That poor boy had a heart of gold
