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
