Lyrics
King Snake
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.
I'm the duke of nothing
I'm the sultan of sans
The king of diddly
I'm the shell of a man
I'm the emperor of zip
The leader of nought
I'm the God of zilch
A vacuum of thought
Yeah!
Here lies
Here lies
The Jack of fuck all
The master of none
The champion of nada
A neglectable sum
I'm yesterday's news
Tomorrow’s chip paper
I'm in between jobs
And I will be later
Yeah!
Here lies
Here lies
A drop in the ocean
A shadow in the night
A wheel with no motion
A dog with no (bark!) bite
The deputy managers assistant
Assistant, assistant, assistant, assistant
Assistant, assistant, assistant, assistant
Don't like, don't listen
Yeah!
Here lies
Here lies
Here lies
Here lies
