King
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
How long can you stand
Tightening up
Avoiding the fight
Avoiding the truth
Tighten the smile
Tighten the lie
Will you get what you want
To be cursed with your dreams
I hope for your sake
Something gets in the way
How long can you stand
Living under the lens
The kiss of success
The ensuing, all consuming, mess
Message of love
They arrive everyday
People you touch
Wasting away
People you dont know
Give you no choice
And youre sick to your stomach
At the sound of your voice
And the shape of your face
And the sound of your name
They send you pictures of yourself
Its someone you dont know
And they call you a genius
Cause youre easier to sell
But the fire in your belly
That gave you the songs
Is suddenly gone
And you feel like a fake
Is that what you want?
I hope for your sake..
Youve got what it takes
Youve got what it takes
Youve got what it takes
To be spoilt to death
