I had an atom smasher/I was using it to mow my lawn
I was a party crasher/I used to stay 'til the rest of the guests were gone
I was an empire builder/with properties that hid the sky
I had a charcoal filter/but now there's nothing left for me to purify
Because you/took my world
And placed it somewhere I was not allowed
Yeah you/stole my whole world
Now I don't know how to knock you off your cloud
But the space you fill/is blank as hell
And if you go/it's just as well
But won't you throw a rope to one who fell?
One who fell
I had a stately manor/and a 9.7% yield
I was an urban planner/from Toluca Lake out to Bakersfield
I was a power broker/in my private Parthenon
I had an all-day s**er/but you took three licks and it was gone
Since you/stole the world
And put it where the air's too thin to breathe
Yeah you/stole my whole world
And left me down here where the serpents seethe
But the space you fill/is blank as hell
And if you go/it's just as well
But won't you throw a rope to one who fell?
One who fell
