Sat in Your Lap

I want to be a scholar
But then I find it hurts me
(Give me the karma, mama)
And so I want to join in
I want the answers quickly
(I just begin)
I get the break
I must admit, just when I think I'm king
(To Salisbury, a monastery)

Just when I think everything's going great
My cup, she never overfloweth

Something sat in your lap
I want to be a lawyer
My goal is moving near
Some say that knowledge is
Some say that knowledge is
There's nothing that can move me
Something sat in your lap

I've been doing it for years

Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Then it up and disappears
Across the weather
I must admit, just when I think I'm king
Something that you never have
(I just begin)

Just when I think I'm king
In my dome of ivory
But I really can't be bothered
Hey, I'm coming up the ladder
Hey, I'm gonna take it all

Some say that hell is heaven
I hold a cup of wisdom
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho ho

So can it happen for me?
(I just begin)
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit
Some say that knowledge is

'Cause when I am unhappy
(The longest journey)
Something that you never have
(I just begin)
Gimme it, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
But I don't have no energy
(I just begin)
And 'tis I that moan and groaneth
Up the ladder
A home of activity

When I'm king, just begin
Across the desert
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit
(Tibet or Jeddah)
(I just begin)
Some say that heaven is hell
Some gray and white matter
Ooh, just gimme it quick
(I just begin)
Some say that knowledge is
I'm coming up the ladder
Something sat in your lap
Some say that heaven is hell
I see the people happy
Some say that knowledge is

Some say that hell is heaven
(A jet to Mecca)
But there is nothing within

Across the elements
It says, "Look! I'm over here"
