lyrics

Upon this single mattress
Floating somewhere out in space
With a most uncertain state
I had a grand illusion
Of myself once, as a king
I was struggling with the reins

Can you face the strain?
You’re in a most uncertain state
Can you make the change, oh
With what little that remains? oh, oh, ooooh

I was left out here to pasture
In this field of pollen grains
And I was left out here to graze
Tried to turn my knowledge of the history books
Into a living wage
For beyond the final page

Can you face the strain?
You’re in a most uncertain state
Can you make the change, oh
With what little that remains? oh, oh, ooooh

Now I won’t apologize
Don’t think that I am vain
My only wish remains
To put all of my pennies
In a pickle jar remains
My only wish remains
