Lyrics
Highness
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 am what I am I just happen to be related to the king
I stand where I stand I just happen to be fated to be prince
And if you should know all that I've been told
Then you might as well be queen
I'll be what I'll be just happens I'm graciated royalty,
Me think my own things
But answers with undivided loyalty
And if you should hear all that I endear then you might as well be queen
For the artist bears his soul for the truth is hard to hold in reality
The oddest animal is a victim of his own immortality
His highness and his throne he never chose to know
Majesty, born in me, in me, in me
David, David Bowie sat me on his knee and said, "you happen to be, you happen to be related"
And Eddie, Eddie Vedder came into my house and said,
"You happen to be, happen to be fated"
Terrence Stamp, Chris's brother told me he was great and asked me to relay it
And Rod Stewart skidded across the Oval stage singing to me,
"Maggie must have made it, 'cause this boy is related
And if you should know all that I've been told then you might as well be queen
For the artist bears his soul as the
Truth is hard to hold in reality
For the oddest animal is a victim of his own immortality
His highness and his throne, he never chose to know
Majesty, born in me, in me, in me
His highness and his throne, yeah he's a victim of his own immortality
Majesty born in me, in me, in me
