Jaykub (feat. Jason Lytle) Lyrics

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse Jaykub (feat. Jason Lytle)

Jaykub
It's time for you to wake up
And accept your awards

Inside
Your tiny little one room
Apartment of the poor

Upon the podium
You smile and you wave
They all thought that you were dumb
But it's you who's on that stage

Jaykub
You work until the day's done
And then you go to bed

And never
With anyone to talk to
But the hero in your head

(The hero)

Upon the podium
You're handsome and you're tall

But actually you are
Just hardly 5 foot small

Jaykub
It's time for you to wake up
And accept your awards

And go on
And smile while your landlord
Is pounding on the door
Upon the podium
You're famous and you're strong

Then the alarm goes off and you're
A sad man in a song
