Lyrics for A King At Night

There is grime on my face There is crust in my eye There is no-one in the place But no-one said goodbye This is how I start another day in my kingdom There is hate in my heart This is how my day starts There is blood on my hands From the murder of a man This is how I start another day in my kingdom And where is my queen She's as gone as can be She was a fine looking lady And she liked to go down on me And I liked to go down on her too In Indya there's the taj On good times there was rog And here-ee look and see All there is is me This is how I start another day in my kingdom This is how I start another day in my kingdom There are good times to be had Only insane's really bad The lord and I agree It's not too off to be What we are As long as we're royalty You fuck and what's to do (you fuck!) It's not your kingdom too
