Owner Of The World Lyrics - Singles - Oysterhead

He used to own the world 

He used to be the one 

Like a hundred hungry dogs in heat 

Or cinnabar and rum 

Ground and sift and washed it 

Dried it in the sun 

But his heart just wouldn't buy it 

And his feet began to run 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

Now he's just another man 

Who used to be the owner of the world 

Down an empty highway 

Past sycamores and oaks 

Then stopped for seven hours 

The things he made us do 

The owner of the world 

Like always taking more 

Standing on the beach 

Or walking out the door 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

Now he's just another man 

Who used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

He used to be the owner of the world 

Now he's just another man 

Who used to be the owner of the world
