The Prince's Favorite Son Lyrics - Singles - Dog's Eye View

Well it feels a little like a landscape 

And it sounds a lot like time passing by 

As I watch through a window asking 

When will I get mine? 

The prince's favorite son was left sitting on a car hood 

With a paper tiger that he used to play with 

And a picture of his father whose memory was a whisper 

That sang to him daily as he ran away 

You know it started out so simply then it caught him in confusion 

As he pulled his head back, he looked around 

Said it takes so long just to get to where you're going 

When you start out spinning and then they would let you fall down 

But he said it feels a little like a landscape 

And it sounds a lot like time passing by 

As I watch through a window asking 

When will I get mine? 

With a dog's eye view it's a world full of hydrants 

And passing feet you never get the whole scene 

You read 429 books about a better world 

But you wake up early and you still don't know what they mean 

Well I'm standing in America and I'm swimming in this whirlpool 

My head's above but you know there's water in my eyes 

'Cause it took 23 years to get this stupid asking 

When will I get wise? 

And it still feels a little like a landscape 

And it still sounds a lot like time passing by 

As I watch through a window asking 

When will I, when will I, when, when, when 

When will I get mine?
