King of the World

At ten in the mornin', I was laughin' at somethin'

At the airport terminal

At nine in the evenin', I was sittin', cryin' to you

Over the phone

While passin' a border from a 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 smokin' 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 runnin' around, tryna 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 nothin', 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

And 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

Well, I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothin', I'm the king of the world

Now, everyday there's a short intermission

While I sleep, they start dimmin' the lights

But I've seen everything that I ever want to see

Screamin' fire in a theater, people takin' their seats

Watch it all go down like a stone in the stream

You'll fall for your reflection, you will drown in a dream

Tell me something real, tell me something true

I just wanna 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 nothin', I'm the king of the world
