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
I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple
I was licking my lips till his son come down
I'm chasing the crown, the 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
I saw the tea float in boston, i saw the live wire shock them
I made them float, i made them drown, chasing the crown
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"
