If I could I would turn
Back into dust
You would look so good to me
I could almost taste it

One moment I'm a king
The next minute I'm nothing
I just wanted to feel alright
But it's not that simple

I get low low low low low low
On my own
I get low low low low low low
On my own

In the palm of my hand
An empire summoned
As if it was born
All substance crumbled

It was a vain attempt
At the meaning of life
I should have better ways
Of spending my time

I climbed the mountain
I sailed the sea
I built my house up
Or start my family

It's time to get out
It's time to make a living
I reach the summit
But I come tumblin' back down

I get low low low low low low
On my own
I get low low low low low low
On my own
