      I drive door dash full-time and I play a lot of music when I drive but I've noticed that when I play scary pockets I get more orders I thought it was weird so I went home and played scary pockets and my wife gave me some , After that I figured hey I'm going to roll here so I went and scratched the lottery ticket and won a million dollars , I couldn't believe it so then I played scary pockets and a guy gave me a Ferrari I jumped in the Ferrari please pull me over and I went to prison for Grand theft and it's pretty much the end of the story I don't know where I was going but yeah that happened

    I used to rule the world
    Seas would rise when I gave the word
    Now in the morning I sleep alone
    Sweep the streets I used to own
    I used to roll the dice
    Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
    Listen as the crowd would sing
    Now the old King is dead, long live the King
    One minute I held the key
    Next the walls were closed on me
    And I discovered that my castles stand
    Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
    [Chorus]
    I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    Once you'd gone there was never
    Never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    [Verse 2]
    It was the wicked and wild wind
    Blew down the doors to let me in
    Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    People couldn't believe what I'd become
    Revolutionaries wait
    For my head on a silver plate
    Just a puppet on a lonely string
    Oh who would ever want to be king?

    Oh yes, there is so much to love about this. How do you come up with such unique arrangements in such a short time??? I love Maiya's vocals, her ad-libs are very well-placed, absolutely dug the entry into the second verse. Most of all though, the vocals, compression and arrangement are so full of energy on this one! The original is so much louder and filled up with sound, whereas this just drips of energy and power flowing through the breaks, perfectly matching the song.

    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Calvary choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world

    I used to rule the world
    Seas would rise when I gave the word
    Now in the morning I sleep alone
    Sweep the streets I used to own
    I used to roll the dice
    Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
    Listen as the crowd would sing
    "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
    One minute I held the key
    Next the walls were closed on me
    And I discovered that my castles stand
    Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
    I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    Once you go there was never
    Never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    It was the wicked and wild wind
    Blew down the doors to let me in
    Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    People couldn't believe what I'd become
    Revolutionaries wait
    For my head on a silver plate
    Just a puppet on a lonely string
    Oh who would ever want to be king?
    I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
    I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
