verse 1
G
His destiny was just too big to spend
G
So he broke it into smaller bills and change
G#
By the time he'd try to buy the things he needed
G
He had spent it all on Lucy's and weed and
G
He had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola
G
He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla
G#
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it
G
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it

verse 2
G
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood
G
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red
G#
They can neither wake up or go deeper
G
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
G
It's like awakening a bear in winter
G
To feel the reckoning of hunger sprinter
G#
He's gonna stretch his claws and feel his power
G
And you are gonna know your final hour

Better get a head start, start running
G
While you were skimming from the top was sunny
G#
But all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy
G
Cause everybody gonna want their money
G
Yeah, everybody gonna want their money
G
Better get ahead start, start running
G#
Better get ahead start, start running
G
Cause it's about to get so unfunny
G
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood
G
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red
G#
They can neither wake up or go deeper
G
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
