Bm  C
Heard he was born as a beast and a ghost


           Bm  C
On the East of a coast, where they eat you for jokes, uh

       Bm  C
I know a guy who said his mom knew a man


           Em            G            D
Whose mother's sister saw him in the mall one time


      Bm  C
Heard he was high and he rode to the sky

And it opened and God played a song he recorded


     Bm  C
He wrote it down


           Em        G              D
But he only play the record for his wife sometimes


 Bm  C
Heard he survived, on an island with Vikes


              Bm  C
That provided the Valkyries, sirens, and pirates


    Bm  C
Don't know the guy, yeah, uh

         Bm  C
From Lucifer's daughter to bow to the gods


         Em              G               D
So he'd keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes


       Bm  C
Heard he was warned that a hero gets torn


         Bm  C
Between fame and adornment and loses his sword, so


     Bm  C
He shot the fame down, uh

But he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky


 Bm  C
Heard he was happy so no one could gas him

Or force him to dance like a monkey for assets
