The King Is Dead
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.
The king is dead
No doubt about it
We came along way
Just to say goodbye
And in the end
It was the same old swansong
The king is dead
You'd never know it
But we got pictures
Of a different man
He's fleash and blood
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You changed my mind in a minute
It breaks my heart to admit it
Don't make me say
The king is dead
The show is over
We came along way
Just to turn around
Lesson learned
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You let me in behind the lies
But you're no use to me lifesize
No-ones to blame
Some days we just do the best we can
