[Trumpet and guitar intro]

You got me feeling like a kid in the sandbox
Hanging 'round in this body with my face in a mask
Silently wait for the giants from the rooftop
Watch them pass
And I laugh deep inside myself
Hear them echo as I watch them rise up again
Without a crown

[Trumpet bridge]

We met eyes, like two lions
You were hungry and I am sick
We broke out, both laughing
We both knew but just can't admit
Maybe at the break of day
On that corner between first av' and my soul
Where we spoke, anybody else hear?

[Trumpet bridge]

You've got eyes
Use them wisely
'Cause they've been tricking you
There once was a man
Who pleasured his heart
Until his own heart blew
[Trumpet bridge]

I feel that heart inside, beating
And I never take the time to breathe
And on the outside, takes me over
And lies right to my face, and I did
(Always did) [x2]
