At ten in the morning

I was laughing at something

At the airport terminal

At nine in the evening

I was sitting crying to you over the phone

Well passing the border from a state to another

Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to

And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant

Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car

She had that look of total fear in her eyes

And as we drove away from there she looked at me and

She smiled.

I keep running around

Trying to find the ground

But my head is in the stars

And my feet are in the sky

Well I'm nobody's baby

I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing

I'm the king of the world.

And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear

That things would always remain so unclear

That one day I'd wake up all alone

With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones

That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear

And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere.

Now I wasn't born for anything

Wasn't born to say anything

Oh I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone

I'm nobody's baby

I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing

I'm the king of the world.

Now everyday there's a short intermission

While I sleep they start dimming the lights

But I've seen everything I ever want to see

Screaming "fire!" in a theater people taking their seats

Watch it all go down like a stone in a stream

If you fall for your reflection you will drown in a dream.

Tell me something real

Tell me something true

I just want to feel there's something left that I can do

But I'm nobody's baby

I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing

I'm the king of the world.
