The King Is Gone |
They came from the second city |
Where the screams came unattached |
Addiction was the latest style |
In the faces they could not match |
There was a blue beat playing |
On the radio left behind |
And a man selling lies as truth |
Like a king who was loved too much |
They made a mess of your only child |
Her innocence was not lost |
While the judge and jury took their dime |
They counted the miles and laughed |
Make way for the way we are |
The fever still burns though the king is gone |
Fever comes to the innocent |
It can make you mad and free |
But you never find a scrap of love |
If you don’t wanna feel the heat |
A million flames are lickin' |
They lie like dogs at your feet |
Waitin' for the words of wisdom |
From the mouths of the bittersweet |
In the valley of indiscretion |
Where fear plays the piper’s tune |
The heroes are the ones who tell the truth |
And break the rules with the courage of love |
Make way for the way we are |
Fever still burns though the king is gone |
Make way for the way we are |
The king is gone |
But the fever lives on. |
