King of Love Songtext

von Jerry Joseph

It's the turn of the century, you're shell shocked and stunned
As you sit on the cliffs in the Mexican sun
Hard to admit your competitors won
They married the prom queens and hit the home runs
So you're making your list of delights and prejudices
You forgive us for all of our trespasses
Another survey of the staggering mess that is
Your little kingdom of endless embarrassments
A last ditch appeal to be a contender
Thanks but no thanks, return to sender
When it comes down to truth there's no public defender
Now you're back in line "A Liar" pretender
So Hail to the king, the king of love
I'm the king of love That's what you said
My blood is the wine my body the bread
With a crown of barbed wire, rubber and lead
I believe that we all can be kings in our head
So you're draggin your cross around in the back yard
With statues of cupids and valentine cards
Cursing your subjects cursing the stars
Baby, being the king's not supposed to be hard
Hail to the king, the king of love
All hail to the king, the king of love
God Save the king
Bless the crown on his head
Long live the king
The King is dead
Back at the round table, they're sending you home
There's always somebody with designs on your throne
At the end of the day, you're just fishes and loaves
Baby, even the king of love dies alone
Hal to the king, the king of love
