Lyrics
King Of The World
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.
You walk by the magazines
Sitting on the rack at the cvs
One more sad movie star divorce
Three hundred died in an airplane wreck
And you think of all the people suffering
And you bury that pain
But you can tell me everything
And we'll ride on that wave
If I was king of the world
You'd be my girl
You wouldn't have to shed one single tear
Unless you wanted to
Cause yeah, I know what it's like
If I was king of the world
Yeah girl
We could ride a greyhound all the way to the galapagos
And stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa
Dad hit you on the hand
Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Then your mom locked you in the shed
And uncle sam dropped an atom bomb
But you're not alone
You can let it go
And just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness
And that pain will pass
If I was king of the world
You'd be my girl
You wouldn't have to shed one single tear
Unless you wanted to
Cause yeah, I know what it's like
If I was king of the world
Yeah girl
We could ride a greyhound all the way to the galapagos
And stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa
We are the small fish
We swim together
Ooh
No prozac or valium
We'll face tsunamis together
If I was king of the world
You'd be my girl
You wouldn't have to shed one single tear
Unless you wanted to
Cause yeah, I know what it's like
If I was king of the world
Yeah girl
We could ride a greyhound all the way to the galapagos
And stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa
