Serbian Snow

it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
from my Serbian home
so far away

this place has a similar look
but it comes from an alien book
it's not like my home
so far away

i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell

it looks just like Serbian skies
although it could fool my eyes
it can't fool my heart
so far away

i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell

it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
from my Serbian home
so far away

The Days Roll By

i have a problem with doubt
i'm doubting me
don't know what i'm all about
and it bothers me
i'm just another stranger
like the ones i've known

i have some reasons to change
but i won't go
i keep 'em all on the shelf
just so i know
i'm just another slacker
i play wait and see

and the days roll by
like steamrollers runnin'
the engines...roaring
reaching for heaven
but the skies still cloudy
and the sun won't shine
it's the same damn thing
happenin' all the time

i never listen to me
so why should you?
so hey whatever i say
could not be true
i'm just another head
on the TV screen

and the days roll by
like steamrollers runnin'
the engines...roaring
reaching for heaven
but the skies still cloudy
and the sun won't shine
it's the same damn thing
happens all the time

Crazy Dream Wedding

i went to sleep this afternoon
dog tired and full of my lunch
the fever took hold
and took me right under
and there i was dressed to the nines
there was a wedding in progress
the reception was right after that
when i saw the scene
if you know what i mean
i wouldn't want to do it like that

i had a crazy dream about a wedding
that nearly destroyed a luxury hotel
there was a door that went to nowhere
but down you would fall like a well
children threw tantrums at parents
who gave them whatever they wanted
people were dazed by the music
the song would play on and on

they had a big stone for bowling
aimed it at a big palm tree
it went down a big ramp
and then the tree went over
the press had a field day with that
there was a din of news helicopters
trying to get a good shot of the tree
yeah i saw it all
the palm tree did fall
then i saw it again on TV

i had a crazy dream about a wedding
that nearly destroyed a luxury hotel
there was a door that went to nowhere
but down if you would fall like a well
children threw tantrums at parents
who gave them whatever they wanted
people were dazed by the music
the song would play on and on

The King of Nothing

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

so put on your dress clothes...and smile a fake smile
for those at the bottom...who are too tired to try
they'll never know it...you know that it's true
they don't aspire...to be someone like you

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

(bridge)
here with forgotten people
here with with their trampled dreams
i'll be the king of nothing
where nothing is everything

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and i'll be the king of nothing
i'll be the king of nothing
