Mineral King

I got a friend named Mineral King She falls asleep when she sings She hides deep in the tall trees, under autumn leaves She wants to sell all her mineral things To mine gold, see what it brings See her face in the movies, the silver screen When you're down And you're out She's got the whole thing figured out The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about When you drive down to Mineral King It's like you step into a time machine Where you find Walt Disney, and his fantasies When you're starin' at Mineral King It's like you look into a slot machine You see berries, bars, and fast cars, and think you'll win When you're down And you're out She's got the whole thing figured out The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about When you're down And you're out She's got the whole thing figured out The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about The world's not burning It's just us we're worried about The last I saw Mineral King She turned to stone, she lost her skin Nothing keepin' her from freezing in the autumn breeze I got a friend named Mineral King She falls asleep when she sings
