World on a String

I've got the world on a string
And it's light as a feather
And I've got all the clouds in my fist
But I've been too caught up in all the bad weather

Had to rob from the drug store
Thought you'd clear 8 grand
The second that your foot hit the curb
The dye packs burst right through your hand

Pick-pocket the school kid
Thought you'd clear two bills
The second that you look to the left
A man in blue and he's aimed to kill

I'm bored to death with the heat
It does nothing for me now
I'd burn all the money and flee if I could manage it somehow
