Lyrics A King At Night - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

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 India, there’s the Taj
On good times there was Raj
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
