KING ME

I am tired of the chess game; I’ve been feelin’ like a pawn again
I was naïve for thinkin’ that bishops don’t try to make pawns of men
So now I’m driftin’ into mid-life, trippin’ over tables in the back of the café
Screw the 12 temp jobs in Seattle, the water cool battle, the little tittle tattle
The traffic never stops, the highway’s full of heroes
We’re on the road tonight, we’ve got no place to go
I’m livin’ with the sadness, the madness in my soul
My heart is thumpin’ louder, thumpin’ louder till I reach the show
At the edge of what we see, you can king me
I was beaten by the bad bands, it eats away at me a bit, I guess
Let’s tour the country in the band van, there must something outside the Northwest
We can drive and drive and drive and play and play and play,
somehow we’re gonna make it pay
Don’t be dismayed that the applause is just a smattering,
we’ll rock because it matters
So quiet all the chatter!
The traffic never stops, the highway’s full of heroes
We’re on the road tonight, we’ve got no place to go
I’m livin’ with the sadness, the madness in my soul
My heart is thumpin’ louder, thumpin’ louder till I reach the show
At the edge of what we see, you can king me
Out in the suburbs the mansions rise upon the hill
Construction crews go in and out; the boys and girls do what they will
We write on the rock club walls, we kiss in the rock club halls
We write our names in sand, we create our mythology
You cannot take my dreams from me!
The traffic never stops, the highway’s full of heroes
We’re on the road tonight, we’re coming through in stereo
I’m livin’ with the sadness, the madness in my soul
My heart is thumpin’ louder, thumpin’ louder till I reach the show
At the edge of what we see, you can king me
