Magic Pie - King For A Day lyrics

Hey-hey good morning! So what's in store? The grandeurs galore at the end of the line where the bourgeois reign, or just the usual bore? The trickle and tangle, the struggle and strain. Aim for an angle, then shoot to main, for a place at the top with the lesser insane. I am just a simple man, I can't explain, don't understand, the ways of life - your universe. Mine swirls around, then in reverse. I may be the loner you see in the park, the flickering shadow that lurks in the dark. A ticking time bomb, yes I am. My soul is my temple, my mind is a realm. A kingdom of madness, to overwhelm my dark dungeons of fear, if the beast should appear. And I see my reflection running blood-stained from its past. There's a corner I return to in my time-warp camouflage. I am just a simple man, lost in faith and what I am. In my striving to survive I close my eyes and hide inside. I am just a simple man, lost in faith and who I am. When the beast comes alive I close my eyes and hide inside. I've slipped and I've stumbled into the gleam. In sweet surrender I float with the stream with my number one guy - Mr. Kentucky Jim Beam. In my oblivion I'm deaf, dumb and blind. Your world is yours -- not mine, 'cause I'm well on my way to the void in my mind. Where I meet my reflection running blood-stained from its past. Reunited we return to our time-warp camouflage. I am just a simple man, lost in faith and what I am. In my striving to survive I close my eyes and hide inside. I am just a simple man, lost in faith and who I am. And now the beast has come alive. I close my eyes and hide inside. I remember the day-dreaming days,- a tree by the lake, such a beautiful place... To wake up and collide with reality's oncoming train. We would solve all the problems of life and love,- a house with a garden and blue skies above... To wake up and collide with reality's oncoming train. I never saw it coming, but it sure was on time, tons of steel bidding the end of our prime. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. Shots rang out and the Earth stood still... The world that I knew took a second to k**. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. Just a simple man voluntarily going insane. The morning headlines read : "Fierce shooting, both injured and dead." The news reporter he said : "Shooter took his own bullet, a shot in the head." Is there a rational explanation? I have no reason to believe. If my life's nightmare bears any meaning, then there should be a message here for me. I have no intention of becoming a slave to my integrity. I'll let my fate of misfortune, beyond dispute, take control over me. I am just a simple man, lost in faith and what I am. In my striving to survive I close my eyes and hide inside. At the corner cafe, about to leave. But you said; "Let's stay ...and I'll be your queen and you my king for a day." The regular ghosts selling memories, but bragging the most. Oh, you were my queen and I your king for a day. Shots rang out, the Earth stood still... and all that I loved took a second to k**. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. Just a simple man, voluntarily going insane. Oh, I am just a simple man... lost in faith and who I am. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. I see people look in disbelief, asking; Who is this man, bearing all this grief? Just a simple man voluntarily going insane Oh, then shots rang out and the Earth stood still... The world that I knew took a second to k**. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. I can't explain, don't understand... the ways of life - it's all out of my hands ! I'm just a simple man voluntarily going insane. I woke up to collide with reality's oncoming train. Just a simple man, voluntarily going insane...
