We Came into This World (To Beat Them)

On a frozen parade

There was a road in a fork

Your parents loved in L.A

But you were born in New York

How could I possibly know

That you'd steal my table-tennis dream?

In Acropolis Heights

I bought my brother's records

Under homeric lights

I tried to make a record

How could I possibly know

That I'd be your Kate Bush Dancing Queen?

Kate Bush Dancing Queen?

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world to beat them now

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up

I took a flight to L.A

But I got off in New York

I tried to make a new way

By writing songs like Thom Yorke

How could I possibly know

That we have the same size TV screen?

We booked a night on our own

But we forgot the passport

Three words on the telephone

Two shots against the backboard

How could I possibly know

That you've never seen a lemon tree?

Seen a lemon tree?

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world to beat them now

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up

Check on the fighters

Lovers on the side

Look how they beat the others

Oh my god

Easy-easy-easy all the time

We built a boat in one day

Had time to build another

They wanted us in L.A

We didn't even bother

How could we possibly know

We'd have the best days of our dreams?

Best days of our dreams?

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world to beat them now

We came into this world to beat them

We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up
