Lyrics
VERSE 1
He works the angles, plays it cool
uses every shortcut, every tool
His neighbor bought a Porsche
now he drives a red one with a horse
He bought the lawyer, bought the mile
bought the banker, bought the aisle
bought himself a seat at the divine
three star dinners, burgundy wines
CHORUS 1
Standin' at the end of the line
he's gotta leave it all behind
no more sleeping big king size
six feet under we all sleep tight
VERSE 2
She puts it all on display
kitchen marble island, the Moët
The zip code did the heavy lift
a leased Mercedes was the gift
She knows the label, knows the year
performs the part for those who're near
The card goes down without a blink
it's deeper than you'd care to think
CHORUS 2
Standin' at the end of the line
she's gotta leave it all behind
no more sleeping big queen size
six feet under we all sleep tight
BRIDGE
The will got read on Tuesday noon
family turned hungry wolves by June
two brothers and a lawyer's fee
three faces lit with quiet greed
CHORUS 3
Standin' at the end of the line
they gotta leave it all behind
no more sleeping big king size
six feet under we all sleep tight
INTERLUDE
CHORUS 3
