Loopy says he likes it up on top
Yes he knows if he ever lets go
The pretty machine will swallow him whole
He has no fear, he has no sense of shame
He will not stop until everybody everywhere
Wants to know his name

The one hit wonder, he likes the big time
He says he wants to live the kind of life
That will make the folks back home
Bitch and whine

He knows if he ever even gets the chance
Hed sell his soul to make the monster dance
They cant hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he sure does like the good life
Yes he knows all those women who scheme
Are just pretty pictures in the pretty machine

He knows if he ever gets to try
He will bite down hard to make the monster cry
He knows if he ever even gets a chance
Hed sell his soul to make the monster dance
They cant hurt you unless you let them

I will say it again
They cannot hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he likes it up on top
He prays to God and he hopes like hell
That the pretty machine they will never fail

He has no fear, he doesnt really even have the time
He knows that the world is in love with the pretty machine
Oh yeah, the pretty machine

The one hit wonder, he likes the big time
He wants to live the kind of life
That will make the folks back home
Scream bitch and whine

He knows if he ever gets to try
He will bite down hard to make the monster cry
He knows if he ever even gets a chance
Hed sell his soul to make the monster dance
He knows if he ever even gets to play
He will stomp like God to make the monster say

They cant hurt you unless you let them
They cannot hurt you unless you let them
They cant hurt you unless you let them
They cannot hurt you unless you let them

Artistic license (also known as dramatic license, poetic license, narrative license, licentia poetica, or simply license) is a colloquial term used to denote the distortion or complete ignorance of fact, ignoring the conventions of grammar or language, or the changing of an established fact that an artist may undertake in the name of art. For example, if an artist decided it was more artistically desirable to portray St. Paul's Cathedral next to the Houses of Parliament in a scene of London, even though in reality they are not close together, would be artistic license.
