I could say what I mean or I could dance around it it would feel good to scream I should quiet down I could be recognized or I could stay in bed look the world in the eyes or just hang my head I'm holding steady this crooked crown Knowing I'll lose it if I look down When my ship has come in when it runs aground I'll be smiling again turn those corners down I've got something to say no one's listening it's my reckoning day so where's the reckoning I'm holding steady this crooked crown knowing I'll lose it if I look down I'm holding steady this crooked crown My prodigy and my idiot play for the prize of my delicate line somehow the score at the end of the day is still 51 49 I'm holding steady this crooked crown knowing I'll lose it if I look down I'm holding steady this crooked crown
