Lyrics
So there I was, fifteen, stuck in High school was no prom king Zoned out in a daydream of a Pretty girl, my own beauty queen I was too shy to talk I was round and soft All the kids would drawl: "You got some beady eyes, boy" Then I'd start to shrink Cecame too hard to see They got what they need I got the beady eyes You can get what you want Make a plea to the dark Not as hard as it seems, kid dreams What did I want? What did I need? I got three squares a day, I got a bed for sleep I couldn't shake a deep belief in a Pretty girl who would save me And then sure enough, they would call my bluff They'd jab and trip me up Hit right between the eyes, boy Fill my cuts with salt Slowly I'd dissolve That was all they saw, boy with beady eyes You can get what you want Make a plea to the dark Not as hard as it seems, kid dreams Oh God now here she comes My perfect lady luck I never did give up, I never did give up The once and future king The best it's ever been If only they could see, see with my beady eyes, boy
