Fall of the worlds own optimist

Capotraste na 1ª casa


There s no charity in you and that surprises me

I guess I thought you were a golden idol cause I called you majesty

On the balustrade you watched me hunt for

Tips I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade


Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist

I could get back up if you insist but you ll have to ask politely

Cause the eggshells I ve been treading couldn t spare me a beheading

And I ll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming

Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist


Well, I could have objections which you could override

But what s the point--we re only flogging the horse

When the horseman has up and died

Once I testified and swore I d never leave a stone unturned

I bet you re really glad that I lied

[chorus]

[solo]


Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist

I could get back up if you insist but you ll have to ask politely

yes, you ll have to ask politely

yes, you ll have to ask
