The Prince`s Favorite Son Lyrics

The Prince`s Favorite Son lyrics

Well it feels a little like a landscape

And it sounds a lot like time passing by

As I watch through a window asking

When will I get mine?



The prince's favorite son was left sitting on a car hood

With a paper tiger that he used to play with

And a picture of his father whose memory was a whisper

That sang to him daily as he ran away



You know it started out so simply then it caught him in confusion

As he pulled his head back, he looked around

Said it takes so long just to get to where you're going

When you start out spinning and then they would let you fall down



But he said it feels a little like a landscape

And it sounds a lot like time passing by

As I watch through a window asking

When will I get mine?



With a dog's eye view it's a world full of hydrants

And passing feet you never get the whole scene

You read 429 books about a better world

But you wake up early and you still don't know what they mean



Well I'm standing in America and I'm swimming in this whirlpool

My head's above but you know there's water in my eyes

'Cause it took 23 years to get this stupid asking

When will I get wise?



And it still feels a little like a landscape

And it still sounds a lot like time passing by

As I watch through a window asking

When will I, when will I, when, when, when

When will I get mine?
