King of The World

[Verse 1] At ten in the morning I was laughing at something At the airport terminal At nine in the evening I was sitting crying to you over the phone Well passing the 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 smoking 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 [Chorus] I keep running around Trying to 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 nothing I'm the king of the world [Verse 2] And once you asked me well what's 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3: Conor Oberst] Now everyday there's a short intermission While I sleep they start dimming the lights But I've seen everything I ever want to see Screaming "Fire!" in a theater people taking their seats Watch it all go down like a stone in a stream If you fall for your reflection you will drown in a dream [Bridge] Tell me something real Tell me something true I just want to 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 nothing I'm the king of the world
