Lyrics The Baby King, Pt. 5 - The Residents

The Baby King, Pt. 5

The baby became a king, and for one real shining moment he was happy,
because kings were good and kings were strong and he was the king
He was the king?
Yeah
But then the stranger’s path got darker and darker, and the baby lost his way.
And the baby got old, and the baby got fat, and the baby didn’t like himself
too much anymore.
And then he died
From life?
Yeah, but have to never forget, we have to never forget, that he was a baby.
And babies are good…
How sad
And babies are strong…
Sad…
And babies are the best at everything
That was sad…
