This is where it all ends The kinda dream that you've never seen Hot damn, mercy ma'am What the hell you doing to me? Strutting round with your head held high What you trying to prove girl? Black haired missy Big brown eyes On my knees mama please I'm a regal man I'll do what I can To take you off to the Promised Land I'm a Sun King baby Let me take you by the hand Sun King honey We can rule across the land I'm a Sun King baby With you I'll share my throne Sun King honey I can't make it on my own Hey look out little missy's about Ripping up the town Honey I can't tie you down Woman you make me frown Long legged lady with a black dress on On my knees mama please I'm a regal man I'll do what I can To take you to the Promised Land Now check this out one time Let me tell you people Listen good City crawling like a tired dog Cult children in the house of the dawn Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast I see the sun begin to shine I see the sun begin to shine | |
