My World Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

There′s a highway where gravity stopped working
Cars and trucks are flying high above the town
You should see the faces pressed against the windows
As they try to find a way back down
People stand and watch behind the barricades
Everyone is arguing but no one can explain
Scientists and lawyers and all the other experts
Don't know what to do about the sudden lack of gravity in My World
It′s a very nice arrangement here in My World
It's always entertaining here in My World
I never get bored, never get bogged down, I never get sore in My World
Keith and I are pretty different from each other
You can just look up here at this stage and tell
I'm real tall and Keith is average height (for a woman)
Anyway, we do have one thing in common
And that is we will both stare into
Space at totally inappropriate moments
People look at us and say things like
Hey man, you′re staring into space again! Where are you?
So we tell them


There′s a treasure chest buried in the backyard
My friends and I are going to find it after school
Pirates hid their silver right here in the suburbs
As a matter of fact, we now have proof
Inside a wall, we found an ancient treasure map
Folded up and hidden in a tin can
With lines and X's and even a skull and crossbones
Gonna dig it up, gonna make it rich in My World
It′s a very nice arrangement here in My World
It's always entertaining here in My World
I never get bored, never get bogged down, I never get sore in My World
When I walk my feet are sinking in the sidewalk
Just like I′m walking on a trampoline
And when I jump into the air, everybody ducks their heads
Then I bounce, just like on a trampoline
When I fall, I never skin my knees,
Everybody wants to pick me for their basketball team
I'm the youngest player in the NBA
Hollywood wants to make a big-screen movie ′bout My World
It's a very nice arrangement here in My World
It's always entertaining here in My World
I never get bored, never get bogged down, I never get sore in My World
It′s a very nice arrangement here in My World
It′s always entertaining here in My World
I never get bored never get bogged down, I never get sore in My World
I never get bored never get bogged down, I never get sore in My World
