Why I Am (Lyrics)

Grew from monkey into man
Then I crush 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Until I was slave and master at the same damn time

Why I am
Why I am
Why I am

Still here dancing with the Groo Grux King
Out of my head and into the room hello
King of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
Why I am
Always the one to make you smile
Why I am
Still a Snake in the wood pile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groo Grux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
You and me of the world
Only one way out of the world
Its the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
You and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Why I am
Unlikely to agree
Why I am
Climbing out of my monkey tree
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groo Grux King
Well we drink a big whiskey while we dance and sing
And when my story ends it's gonna end with him
heaven or hell
I'm going down with the Groo Grux King

Why I am
The apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
Snake in the wood pile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groo Grux King
Don't cry baby don't cry

(taken from live versions)

I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed 15 million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

But it's why I am
Why I am
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the room forever

A king of men it makes no sense
All bow to you while I worship the wench

But it's why I am
The only one to make you smile
Why I am
A snake in the wood pile
Why I am

Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby
Don't cry

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and the right
Us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and the right
Us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's why I am
Unlikely to agree
Why I am
Runnin' up my monkey tree
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
We'll be drinking Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
When my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or hell I'm going there with the GrooGrux King

Why I am
Color of your pretty eye
Why I am
A snake in the wood pile
Why I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry baby
Don't cry
