King of Kings
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 don't have to warn ya
Black clouds are coming
Go out, get a hand gun
Walk the streets of Houston
Headlines to the west
Skylines falling down
I walked out this morning
My moose skin was jiving
I don't have to warn ya
Black clouds are coming
Headlines to the west
Skylines falling down
Chorus:
People getting ready
Yeah, people getting ready
To meet the King of Kings
To meet the King of Kings
Out on the main line
There's a pitch black highway
The city after midnight
Is up around the next bend
Sunrise in the East
Cities burning down
(I feel burned down now)
(Chorus)
(Verse 1)
(I see falling down now)
(Chorus)
(I got to go now)
(Chorus)
