Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse Jaykub lyrics

Jaykub, it's time for you to wake up
And accept your awards
Inside your tiny little one room
Apartment of the poor

Up on the podium
You smile and you wave
Well, they all thought that you were dumb
But it's you who's on that stage

Jaykub, you work until the day's done
And then you go to bed
And never with anyone to talk to
You're the hero in your head, a hero

Up on the podium

You're handsome and you're tall
But actually you are
Just hardly five foot small

Jaykub, it's time again to wake up
And accept your awards
And go on smiling while your landlord
Is pounding on the door

Up on the podium
You're famous and you're strong
Then the alarm goes off
And you're a sad man in a song
