Owner Of The World Lyrics
He used to own the world
He used to be the one
Like a hundred hungry dogs in heat
Or cinnabar and rum
Ground and sift and washed it
Dried it in the sun
But his heart wouldn't buy it
And his feet began to run
He used to be the Owner of the World
Now he's just another man
Who used to be the Owner of the World
Down an empty highway
Past sycamores and oaks
Then stopped for seven hours
The things he made us do
The owner of the world
Like always taking more
Standing on the beach
Or walking out the door
He used to be the Owner of the World
Now he' s just another man
Who used to be the Owner of the World
He used to be the one
Like a hundred hungry dogs in heat
Or cinnabar and rum
Ground and sift and washed it
Dried it in the sun
But his heart wouldn't buy it
And his feet began to run
He used to be the Owner of the World
Now he's just another man
Who used to be the Owner of the World
Past sycamores and oaks
Then stopped for seven hours
The things he made us do
The owner of the world
Like always taking more
Standing on the beach
Or walking out the door
He used to be the Owner of the World
Now he' s just another man
Who used to be the Owner of the World

It's about Jon Fishman
I think its like about the same thing that david bowie did og man who sold the world but i cant figure out what.
The idea that keeps popping into my head is the idea that the man in the song had everything he ever wanted, but he gave it up or lost it; now he is beginning to walk around and try to get more from life.
"Like always taking more Standing on the beach Or walking out the door."
