lyrics
I got a friend named Mineral King
She falls asleep when she sings
She hides deep in the tall trees, under Autumn leaves
She wants to sell all her mineral things
To mine gold, see what it brings
See her face in the movies, the silver screen
When you're down
And you're out
She's got the whole thing figured out:
"The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about
The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about…"
When you drive down to Mineral King
It's like you step into a time machine
Where you find Walt Disney, and his fantasies
When you're starin' at Mineral King
It's like you look into a slot machine
You see berries, bars, and fast cars, and think you'll win
When you're down
And you're out
She's got the whole thing figured out:
"The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about
The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about…"
When you're down
And you're out
She's got the whole thing figured out:
"The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about
The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about
The world's not burning
It's just us we're worried about..."
The last I saw Mineral King
She turned to stone, she lost her skin
Nothing keepin' her from freezing in the Autumn breeze
I got a friend named Mineral King
She falls asleep when she sings...
