The Fall of the Emperor

from oh yellow. by Courtney Lynn Music

/

lyrics

Walking from the starbucks
to my place of work
Sometimes I see Peto,
Yeah; he's a bird.
So I will read my Dr. Seuss
and I will make a tighter noose for you.
For you.

'Cause it's not what I do,
I won't live and breathe for you.
It's not what I am,
You are just a man without a body.

So I'll conjure up a plan
and I'll turn you into sand
and I'll send you on a tour
So you can finally explore
Everything but me,
I'm tired of doubting what I see.

'Cause it's not what I do,
I won't live and breathe for you.
It's not what I am,
You are just a man without a body.

So I'll conjure up a plan
and I'll turn you into sand
Just let me go; you're free now baby.
I can just be me.

I'll sit in a white room
where magnolias can bloom
Just let me go; you're free now baby.
I can just be me.

'Cause it's not what I do,
I won't live and breathe for you.
It's not what I am,
You are just a man without a body.

So the emperor, he roams
Through mountains, even snow
He's looking for a body
'Cause he finally let me go.
