Lyrics
King For a Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blinded by the magenta spotlight
stands a disposable commodity
don't a high price ticket make a star shine so bright
a taste of immortality
and the critics tey call you the new boy wonder
and you know just how to make a young girl cry
the more you feed them the more they hunger
as you watch the money multiply
How does it feel to be?
how does it feel to be?
king ... for a day
You got the whole damn world spinning 'round your middle finger
hey! shoot a little skeet with the president
and your mother loves you more for every dollar you bring her
and yor latest wife is worth every cent
How does it feel to be?
how does it feel to be?
king ... for a day
Blinded by the magenta spotlight
stands a manufactured fantasy
don't a high price ticket make a star
shine so bright
and the people love you endlessly
How does it feel to be?
how does it feel to be?
king ... for a day
How does it feel to be?
how does it feel to be ... king
