1 " His destiny was just too big to spendSo he broke it into smaller bills and changeBy the time he'd try to buy the things he neededHe had spent it all on loosies and weed andHe had spent it all on chips and Coca-ColaHe had spent it all on chocolate and vanillaHe had spent it all and didn't even feel itHe had spent it all and didn't even feel it[Verse 2]All the poets in the alley coughing up bloodAnd their visions and their dreams are coming up redThey can either wake up or go deeperBut it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeperIt's like awakening a bear in winterTo feel the reckoning of hunger splinterHe's gonna stretch his claws and feel his powerAnd you are gonna know your final hourBetter get a head start, start runningWhile you were skimming from the top was sunnyBut all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy'Cause everybody gonna want their moneyYeah, everybody gonna want their moneyBetter get a head start, start runningBetter get a head start, start running'Cause it's about to get so unfunnyAll the poets in the alley coughing up bloodAnd their visions and their dreams are coming up redThey can neither wake up or go deeperBut it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper "
