Top of the World Songtext
von Ray Conniff

Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It′s a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It′s slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost word.
They say its time that you lost your crown.

[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want ′em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don′t wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you


Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don′t care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there′s a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch you
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face

[Chorus]
Don′t be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don′t wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
And you will, Yeah you will, and you will


[Chorus x2]
Don′t be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you what ′em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
