His destiny was just too big to spend So he broke it into smaller bills and change By the time he tried to buy the things he needed He had spent it all on loosies and weed and He had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla He had spent it all and didn’t even feel it He had spent it all and didn’t even feel it
La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood And their visions and their dreams Are coming up red They can either wake up or go deeper
But it’s so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper It’s like awakening a bear in winter To feel the reckoning of hunger’s splinter He’s gonna stretch his claws and feel his power And you are gonna know your final hour
La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Better get a head start, start running While you were skimming from the top was sunny But all the weather ’bout to turn real crummy ’cause everybody gonna want their money Yeah everybody gonna want their money Better get a head start, start running Better get a head start, start running ’cause it’s about to get so unfunny
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood And their visions and their dreams Are coming up red They can either wake up or go deeper
But it’s so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper... La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
