Chasing The Crown

I built a wall in china, i sank an ocean liner

I've wrecked homes, i've burned thrones, chasing the crown

I've put thorns in your feet, i spread plague in the streets

I've sprung traps, confused maps, chasing the crown



I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple

I was licking my lips till his son come down

I'm chasing the crown, the crown, i'm chasing the crown

I'm taking a turn in the right direction

By leaving his soul in the lost and found

I'm chasing the crown, i'm chasing the crown





I saw the tea float in boston, i saw the live wire shock them

I made them float, i made them drown, chasing the crown

I laid the desert sands, i froze the polar caps

Well, they'd dry out, and i'd shout "hey i'm chasing the crown"
