Oh, I was really very small,

When all that is sanity went up against the wall.

Oh, and before I could fall on my face.

A carnival was starting up and stirring up the place.



Oh, I went out into the world.

To find the majesty and all that I deserve.

Fastening, fastening onto my brain.

With militants and ignorants, and got a lot of pain.



And you wonder why, I'm crawlin'

And you wonder why, I never am.



Oh, I went marching off to war

Because her majesty desired a little more.

I could be strong and be long and be brave.

And all of us were suiting up and shooting up the place.



And you wonder why, I'm crawlin'

And you wonder why, I never see it through.

And you wonder why, I'm crawlin'

And you wonder why, I never knew.



And you wonder why, I'm crawlin'

And you wonder why, I never see it through.

And you wonder why, I'm crawlin'

And you wonder why, I never knew.
