Danny Michel - King Of Fools lyrics

Once I was the king of the fools And they'd buy me drinks and egg me on But I escaped while they were asleep 'Cause I knew that they'd soon turn on me So wake up the horses and clowns 'cause the circus is leaving this town So lets rack up my tab and shoot me some pool And say goodbye to the king of the fools Once I lived in a town full of friends Asleep at the wheel and I'd always win But my head was full with bourbon and bull And I was the biggest fool of all So wake up the horses and clowns 'cause the circus is leaving this town So fire the band and pull up a stool And drink to the king of the fools Ya, and drink with the king of the fools Oh how they'd keep me 'round With good wine and food 'Til I was sickened by the things that I'd do But this ship is sinking and there's nothing to do So grab on to someone and swim like a fool Once I was the king of the fools Jumping through hoops trying to show the world So break out the pitchforks and hounds And we'll run him right out of this town So You build the fire and I'll bring the fuel And we'll bun that king of the fools But here I go, off I go, down I go again
