Lyrics
King Of The Earth
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 as crazy as a clown tonight
A clown without a crown tonight
A simple sack of wishes and bones
I'm as useless as a memory
The day before it came to me
To save your town of stitches and stones
For once in my life I was the king of the Earth
Once in my life...
I was
I've flown horses on the skies above
Bleed enough for you my love
To fill these empty castles with ghosts
I've married devils to their history
Stood when you would bury me
Through a time of statues and roads
But once in my life I was the king of the Earth
Once in my life...
I was
Now that the stars have frozen in their places
Now that our hope seems gone
Now that scars have fallen from our faces
I will see you on
I'll never be your picture presidant
But I hope you got the rose I sent
To save your town of stiches and bones
I'm nothing more then but a simple man
Born to be American
Out to draw these bridges and motes
But once in my life I was the king of the Earth
Once in my life...
