Lyrics Position Vacant - Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders

Position Vacant

The king wrote his resignation
Swallowed it in capsule form
He took twenty seven of those bad boys
And said «I ain’t gonna reign no more
Well I ain’t gonna reign no more
You know I’m tired of all these expectations
And the diseases in my meat»
So he hung a sign position vacant
As he kicked the chair out from under his feet
Most nights I get so lonesome
Most nights are filled with deep regret
Most night I cry myself to sleep
Freezing in the wilderness
And I think so much about you lately
How you got your house with your jungle gym
All I got is a position vacant
Won’t you take me back in your arms again?
Position vacant, apply within
Position vacant
Position vacant, apply within
Ohhh, ohh ohh
Money was getting tough
I took a job down at the general store
Selling cigarettes to single mothers
And sweeping the rat shit off of the floor
I started taking a few liberties
Selling a spoonful on the side
When the boss listed position vacant
Before he even said you’re fired
Position vacant, apply within
Position vacant
Position vacant, apply within
Ohhh, ohh ohh
Woohoo
Now all the king’s loyal subjects
Formed a great long queue
To hold a new audition
To see who should fill the royal shoes
I got nothing else to lose
I showed up
You couldn’t call me shy
And when the angels heard my song for you
They screamed out «King you’re hired!»
Oh position vacant, apply within
Position vacant
Oh position vacant, apply within
Ohhh
