[Verse 1]
I built a wall in China, I sank an ocean liner
I've wrecked homes, I've burned thrones, chasing the crown
I've put thorns in your feet, I spread plague in the streets
I've sprung traps, confused maps, chasing the crown

[Chorus]
Chasing the crown 'til he bites the apple
I was licking my lips 'til the sun come down
I'm chasing the crown, crown, I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
By leaving his soul in the lost and found
I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown

[Verse 2]
I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock 'em
I made them float, I made them drown, chasing them 'round
I laid the desert sands, I froze the polar caps
Well, they'd dry out, and I'd shout "Hey, I'm chasing the crown"

[Chorus]
Chasing the crown 'til he bites the apple
I was licking my lips when the sun come down
I'm chasing the crown, crown, I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
By leaving his soul in the lost and found
I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown (Hey)
(Hey)
[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the crown 'til he bites the apple
I was licking my lips 'til the sun come down
I'm chasing the crown, crown, I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
By leaving his soul in the lost and found
I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
I built a wall in China, I sank an ocean liner
I've wrecked homes, I've burned thrones, chasing the crown
I've put thorns in your feet, I spread plague in the streets
I've sprung traps, I've confused maps, chasing the crown
I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock 'em
Made them float, made them drown, chasing them 'round
I built a wall, I built a wall in China
I'm chasing the crown
