I once learned the secrets to the world But soon forgot them all I've got some friends, a family But when I'm lonely never call I found the sidewalk to the end But it was but a turn The world's a giant letdown That from life I've learned I've touched a hundred dollar bill I've got a place on someone's will I'm perched upon your windowsill But you can't see me Even still My gardens full of the wretched trees The ones that mislead both Adam and Eve Serpents slither among overgrown weeds Yet I sit in the shade with plenty to eat I take just enough, the rest I leave Save for animals and other things There's a small flame in hell Above which burns my name It dances low and skillfully It's movements quick yet tame I've never won a lottery I never remember bets I'm the type that's always hungry But will let you have the rest
