Stephen Kellogg And The Sixers - When You're King lyrics

The camera rolls over your old best friend You don't need him and you don't need them You'll be dying in an instant, you'll be dying all alone It don't matter what you did There's no comfort in a throne The d** are just a countenance for sleeping in the day The things that you forget and the things you gave away Are reminders of an absence and a life that you've outgrown There's nowhere that they can't find you There's no comfort in a throne Is it just your arrogance you easily betray? On the doctors table we are all the same Even when you're king you can fall, you can fall It's a lonely proposition though it shelters you sometimes And your comfort's your condition, Though it seems like it's a crime Your brand new set of monologues will have to be postponed Even when you're royalty There's no comfort in a throne
