"Short King" lyrics

"Short King"

Somebody come get her
She's in love with a short king
That boy is under 5'9"
Ever since I met her I've been
Ducking through doorways
I'm angry all the time

I know it sounds stupid
But with my head in the clouds
I never thought I'd have to call upon Cupid
It's useless
Being this high

Something must be going 'round
It's just a dog whistle, baby, an inaudible sound
Still I thought I'd try my hand at love
But what fun is a cliff if there's no one to shove
So I try to pick myself off the ground
I can't help this feeling ugly in this beautiful town
But you won't even give me a chance
And these short motherfuckers, oh man, they can dance
Goddamn

Somebody come get her
She's in love with a short king
That boy is under 5'9"
Ever since I met her I've been
Ducking through doorways
I'm angry all the time

I know it sounds stupid
But with my head in the clouds
I never thought I'd have to call upon Cupid
It's useless
Being this high

I know it sounds stupid
But with my head in the clouds
I never thought I'd have to call upon Cupid
It's useless
Being this high

Ooh yeah

Born in '80, ain't lucky
Think he's a short king
Born in '80, ain't lucky
Think he's a short king
Born in '80, ain't lucky
Think he's a short king
Born in '80, ain't lucky
Think he's a short king

Somebody come, come get her (Somebody come get her)
Somebody come, come get her (She's in love with a short king)
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her (Ever since I met her I've been)
Somebody come, come get her (Ducking through doorways)
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her

Somebody come, come get her (Somebody come get her)
Somebody come, come get her (She's in love with a short king)
Somebody come, come get her (That boy is under 5'9")
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her (Ducking through doorways)
Somebody come, come get her
Somebody come, come get her
