[Verse 1]
Moved to Memphis at the age of nine
At the doorway to this house of lies
They say this black land needs me
Me and my father divine
Like ruling by remote control
I feel I’m responsible
And I’m taking it easy
Taking things nicely and slow
You’ve gone and made yourself at home
With your heart of stone
You’re just a mindless little clone who won’t
And I’ll still be here after you’re gone
[Chorus]
And I know that
All I have is all that I can to give at one time
They tell me
As long as I carry my heart there’s no gravity
[Verse 2]
Fetch me water from the gleaming Nile
I feel like a newborn child
Your presence it pleases
Why don’t you stick around for a while
You see the sun is my star my guide
It’s bashing me out of light
See I’m a full grown beam now
Get out of my way let me die
You’re just five centuries of night
It’s time to pay the price
You see the sun about to rise and fly
And I’ll still be here after you’re gone
[Chorus]
And I know that
All I have is all that I can to give at one time
They tell me
As long as I carry my heart there’s no gravity
[Verse 3]
About four thousand years ago
My grandfather fills this thrown
But because of your worries
Your memory it serves you alone
You think you stand next to his thrown
But I’m sorry but you don’t
You’re just a greedy little clone
And you want my thrown
