Brimstone, fire and eyes aglow

Little Big Boy's making the whole world know his name

Raised on pillars and shining lights

Breathing smoke for the right to keep his place

Never satisfied

till they all see how big this little boy can be

Well, the water's rising

tide is coming in (tide's coming in)

Does Little Big Boy know how to swim?

In a pond filled with fish bigger than him?

Oh, Little Big Boy's (Little Big Boy)

Gonna see how little he really is

Well he clawed up cliffs till he was sick

But desperation's a tricky, fickle thing

It never really sits still

And all getting higher is gonna do

Is make you look as small as the whole world looks to you

Never satisfied

till they all see how big this little boy can be

Well, the water's rising

tide is coming in (tide's coming in)

Does Little Big Boy know how to swim?

In a pond filled with fish bigger than him?

Oh, Little Big Boy's (Little Big Boy)

Gonna see how little he really is

Well the water's lapping at your heels, boy

Do you really feel like

The world's gonna end if you're not at the top?

'Cause once you claim that throne

Once you call it all your own

The climb never, never, never stops (never, never, never)

Well, the water's rising

tide is coming in (tide's coming in)

Does Little Big Boy know how to swim?

In a pond filled with fish bigger than him?

Oh, Little Big Boy's (Little Big Boy)

Gonna see how little he really is

Oh, Little Big Boy's (Little Big Boy)

Gonna see how little he really is
