 His destiny was just too big to spend 
So he broke it into smaller bills and change 
By the time he tried to buy the things he needed 
He had spent it all on loosies and weed and 
He had spent it all on chips and coca-cola 
He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla 
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it 
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it. 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
[X2] 
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood 
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red 
They can either wake up or go deeper 
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper 
It's like awakening a bear in winter 
To feel the reckoning of hunger's splinter 
He's gonna stretch his claws and feel his power 
And you are gonna know your final hour. 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
[X2] 
Better get a head start, start running 
While you were skimming from the top was sunny 
But all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy 
'cause everybody gonna want their money 
Yeah, everybody gonna want their money 
Better get a head start, start running 
Better get a head start, start running 
Cause it's about to get so unfunny. 
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood 
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red 
They can either wake up or go deeper 
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper. 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la... 
La la la, la la la la, la la...
