Nobody rules these streets at night but me I am the ruler of these netherworlds On every wall and place my fearsome name is hung I am a victim of the science age A child of the storm, whoa yes I can't remember when I was your age For me, it says no more,

You gotta love someone You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon You can beat the clock, but before high noon You've got one life with a reason

Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend Send you my love on a wire Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooh, pulls away, ooh Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when Our common goal was waiting for the world to end You crack the whip,

Pop, pop, pop I can rule the world I'm a prima donna Don't care who's around me I can fool the world So hand's up Catch this feeling There's no stopping this Right now in this moment

There's a way out Be held down She could be a Statue of Liberty She could be a Joan of Arc But he's scared of the light that's inside of her So he keeps her in the dark Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh Can't believe
