Why I Am​

I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'Till I was slave and master at the same damn time
 
It's why I am
It's why I am
Why— I— am, still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
 
Out of my head and into the room, hello
 
A king of men, it makes no sense
Oh, when I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
 
But it's why I am, always the only one to make you smile
Why I am, I'm still a snake in the wood pile
It's why— I— am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
 
Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby, don't cry
 
It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world, but
Only one way out of the world
 
It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
 
 
Why I am, unlikely to agree
It's why I am, climbin' out of my monkey tree
Why— I— am, still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
We'll be drinking Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
And when my story ends, it's gonna end with him
Heaven or hell, I'm going there with the GrooGrux King
 
Why I am, the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am, a snake in the wood pile
It's why— I— am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
 
 
Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby, don't cry
