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"
