King Without a Throne
Lyrics
Gold on the radio
Could it really be that long ago
Swore he'd turn this toy town upside down
How could he fail to take the crown
No stranger to vulgar taste
Fantasies consumed with indecent haste
Crushed a rose bush in full bloom
Watched his court become a tomb
Do you remember
The king without a throne
He locked his heart
Inside a castle made of stone
Do you remember
The king without a throne
His reign is over
Now he spends his days alone
He may as well lie in state
His majesty must abdicate
The victims who showed their respect
He made them bow and genuflect
Somehow his talent to coerce
Was a fatal curse
Do you remember
The king without a throne
Locked his heart inside
A castle made of stone
Do you remember
The king without a throne
His reign is over
Now he spends his days alone
No royal heirs or queen
Just time to think what might have been
But how do you count the cost
When all is lost
Do you remember
The king without a throne
Locked his heart inside
A castle made of stone
Do you remember
The king without a throne
His reign is over
Now he spends his days alone
Gold on the radio
Could it really be that long ago
