We Came into This World (To Beat Them)

On a frozen parade
There was a road in a fork
Your parents loved in L. A
But you were born in New York
How could I possibly know
That you’d steal my table-tennis dream?
In Acropolis Heights
I bought my brother’s records
Under homeric lights
I tried to make a record
How could I possibly know
That I’d be your Kate Bush Dancing Queen?
Kate Bush Dancing Queen?
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world to beat them now
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up
I took a flight to L. A
But I got off in New York
I tried to make a new way
By writing songs like Thom Yorke
How could I possibly know
That we have the same size TV screen?
We booked a night on our own
But we forgot the passport
Three words on the telephone
Two shots against the backboard
How could I possibly know
That you’ve never seen a lemon tree?
Seen a lemon tree?
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world to beat them now
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up
Check on the fighters
Lovers on the side
Look how they beat the others
Oh my god
Easy-easy-easy all the time
We built a boat in one day
Had time to build another
They wanted us in L. A
We didn’t even bother
How could we possibly know
We’d have the best days of our dreams?
Best days of our dreams?
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world to beat them now
We came into this world to beat them
We came into this world wake up, wake up, wake up
