King's Crossing

Lyrics

The King's crossing was the main attraction
 ♪
 Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
 The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
 Whiskey works better than beer
 The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
 And nobody gets a reprieve
 And every wave is tidal
 If you hang around you're going to get wet
 I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
 All you can do now is watch the shells
 The game looks easy that's why it sells
 Frustrated fireworks inside your head
 Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
 The method acting that pays my bills
 Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
 I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
 And I get my check from the trash treasury
 Because I took my own insides out
 It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life
 And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
 I've seen the movie
 And I know what happens
 It's Christmas time
 And the needles on the tree
 A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
 His voice is overwhelming
 But his speech is slurred
 And I only understand every other word
 Open your parachute and grab your gun
 Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
 Read the part and return at five
 It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
 But I don't care if I fuck up
 I'm going on a date
 With a rich wife lady
 Ain't life great?
 Give me one good reason not to do it
 (Because we love you)
 So do it
 ♪
 This is the place where time reverses
 And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
 Instruments shine on a silver tray
 Don't let me get carried away
 Don't let me get carried away
 Don't let me be carried away
