Listening closely.

They told you your music
Could reach millions
The choice was up to you
And you told me
They always pay for lunch
They believe in what I do

And I wonder
Will you miss your old friends
Once you've proven what you're worth
And I wonder
When you're a big star
Will you miss the earth?

And I knew you'd always want more
I knew you'd never be done

Because everyone
Is a fucking Napoleon
Everyone
Is a fucking Napoleon

And the next time
That I saw you
You were larger than life
Yeah you came
And you conquered
You were doing all right

You've got an army
Of suits behind you
You'd rather he was willing
And I said I used to
Make a pretty good living
But you must make a killing
A killing

And I hope that you are happy
I hope at least you are having fun

'Cuz everyone
Is a fucking Napoleon
Everyone
Is a fucking Napoleon

Now you think that is
That's the way it's gonna be
So that's what this is all about
And I think that's
The way it always was
You chose not to notice
Until now

Well you know that
There's a problem
You called me up to confide
And you go on for over an hour
About each one that took you
For a ride

And I guess that
You dialed my number
Because you thought for sure that
I'd agree
I said that baby
You know I still love you
But how dare you
Complain to me?

'Cuz everone
Is a fucking Napoleon
Because everyone
Is a fucking Napoleon

Napoleon

The wind is ruthless
The trees shake angry fingers
At the sky
And the people
Hunch their shoulders
Hold their collars over their ears
And run by

It's a cold rain
It's a hard rain
Like the kind that you find
In songs

I guess that makes me
The jerk with the heartache
Here to sing you
About how I've been
Done wrong

I am sitting
Watching
Out the window of the coffee shop
And I am waiting
Waiting
Waiting for it to let up

And I am rocking
Like a cradle
Warming my hands
With a cup in between
And I am leaning
Over the table
Holding my face over the steam

And before it gets so cold
That the rain turns to snow
There's just a couple things
I'd like to know

How could you do nothing
And say I'm doing my best?
How could you take almost everything
And then come back for the rest?
How could you beg me to stay
Reach out your hands and plead?
And then pack up your eyes
And run away
As soon as I agree?

It just all slips
Away so slowly
You don't even notice
Until you've lost a lot

You've been like one of those zombies
In Vegas
Pouring quarters into a slot
And now I'm tired
And I'm broke
And I feel stupid
And I feel used

And I'm at the end
Of my little rope
And I am swinging
Back and forth before you

Before it gets so cold
That the rain turns to snow
There's just a couple things
I'd like to know

How could you do nothing
And say I'm doing my best?
How could you take almost everything
And then come back for the rest?
How could you beg me to stay
Reach out your hands and plead?
And then pack up your eyes
And run away
As soon as I agree?

The wind is ruthless
The trees shake angry fingers
At the sky
And the people
Hunch their shoulders
Hold their collars over their ears
And run by

And it's a cold rain
It's a hard rain
Like the kind that you find
In songs

I guess that makes me
The jerk with the heartache
Here to sing you
About how I've been
Done wrong

Done Wrong
