lyrics

King of This World

We’ve got no time to be abused
Beat it down with the broken and the bruised

Hold up your head ego in view
Independence is what we both could use

Are you sleeping now?
And are you sleeping?

I could be king
I could take on this world
Collapse is alright if you’re out of it

Consider it done
I can have my own fun
Out of this driveway

These words and passages appear
The chapter ends with “it’s all becoming clear”

What breaks the world and spins me round
It’s a trace on your face of the lights
The lights go down

Are you sleeping now?
And are you sleeping?

I could be king
I could take on this world
Collapse is alright when you’re out of it
Consider it done
I can have my own fun
Out of this driveway

The sound that you create
I can hardly take
Closed doors and open minds
Deliver me from this

Are you sleeping now?
And are you sleeping?
