If life is but a vapor
then I would be a flame
engulfing my surroundings
refusing to be tamed
I'm told that I'm rebellious
and I don't give a damn
you either love me or you hate me
but you can't change who I am

Astronomic expectations
that barring complications
will someday soon be mine

I want a million dollars
my own kingdom in the clouds
I want everyone to know me
and scream my name out loud
I want some satisfaction
a suitable distraction
I want, I want, I want
I want more

I don't like many people
I just don't see the need
cause friends will get you nowhere
the key to life is greed
I've got a weekend home in London
I've got a Bentley and Jag
I've got a sauna and a Cessna
and an ample right to brag

I've worked through my depression
I find worth in possessions
this is now my time

I've got my million dollars
my own kingdom in the clouds
and everybody knows me
they scream my name out loud
a life that's lived with vigor
still, I am thinking bigger
I want, I want, I want
I want more

The lights go out, the candles wane
alone inside these walls of shame
the walls close in, I hide my face
locked inside my own disgrace
It's gone

I lost my million dollars
my own kingdom in the clouds
and everybody who knew me
and screamed my name out loud
a happiness so fleeting
it left me cold and bleeding
it's gone

You took my pride away
it's gone
you finally doused my flame
it's gone
I'm gone
