lyrics
What does it feel like from the top of the world? What does it feel like from the top of the world? What does it feel like to be happy? What does it feel like when your life is just an illusion? What does it feel like when life keeps zooming past you? What does it feel like when life keeps zooming past you? What does it feel like when they all want you dead? What does it feel like when your head's chopped off? What does it feel like when demons tell you that they are servants of God? What does it feel like from Hell? What does it feel like in Heaven? What does it feel like on the other side of the matrix? What does it feel like to not be outraged by legalized infanticide? What does it feel like when everybody's been lying to you? What does it feel like when your mother never wanted you? What does it feel like to smoke your brain cells away? What does it feel like to believe those lies about peace and prosperity? What does it feel like when no one wants you? What does it feel like to have a loving family? What does it feel like when you actually have a home or a decent paying job? What does it feel like when somebody actually loves you? What does it feel like to be healthy? What does it feel like when somebody actually loves you? What does it feel like from the top of the world? What does it feel like to not be outraged by legalized infanticide? What does it feel like to be healthy? What does it feel like to smoke your brain cells away? What does it feel like to end a song?

It seemed like fun at the time, didn't it we talked about doing it for days but you were out of there as soon as it was done had enough of the one night stands and the fake pretty faces it wasn't enough to settle down and you bloodied me without throwing a punch you're back in your high life while I'm stuck in the ghetto trying to rekindle lost love at an age way too old to be solo for so long no friends in high or low places and not sure if it ever existed at all Fair pay for a fair wage you said I'd be rich doing this work but I'm commuting more than I'm working you want things confidential on this job so sue me if you have the balls or the funds I'm not sure what you promised to pay me ever existed at all No longer in the Empire State of mind not when the city went from a dream to a nightmare not when my old neighborhood is still in ruins when the new guy let it rot because my hood won't support him but then it's been dim with promise for over 25 years and the things I went there for never panned out sorry for the ones who are stuck behind but the greatness of the World's second home never existed at all And I wonder whether it was worth it at all? You battled me 2 decades ago behind a name hidden in plain sight but we both have been keeping secrets try flating the sensible from wherever you are now and I'll deflate your legacy because Bart the cop from Tulsa never really existed at all, did he, Terry Coppage? And I wonder whether it was worth it at all? is it worth it at all? And I wonder whether it was worth it at all? Help me to find my way is it worth it at all? There are times I wish I was invisible no one notices me for what I want to do stuck playing a homeless guy when I'm trying to forget that I used to be one composed the theme that they forgot and I wonder if it was worth it at all is it worth it at all? From the burning mountains to the flooded shores is there any such place as home anymore From the models to the cuties to the fembots is there any such thing as love any more When they claim they want what's in your underwear but they're repelled by your petite bank account is it worth it at all? Looking at my life all the failures and ruins and loneliness and hurt and lower pay, bad housing fickle friends nonexistent sex and even less love and not sure if happiness or worth ever existed at all..... and not sure if happiness or worth ever existed at all.....
