Lyrics

[00:16.75] 1577 there was born a king of architectual passion
[00:26.01] Placed in dire peril he would stand tall and erect
[00:33.17] In retrospect
[00:34.69] All I do is run tonight
[00:37.90] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[00:41.83] I did not intend to impersonate a friend
[00:49.48] If I didn't know my luck
[00:53.30] Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
[00:57.04] I shall ascend at last
[01:01.08] Like a question never asked
[01:05.97] Think him not so good natured
[01:09.22] Oh no, not the slightest bit, quite the opposite
[01:14.66] Because even though he would build things
[01:18.76] He onto his queen was mean, poor Anna Katherine
[01:24.05] She's crying
[01:38.81] All I do is run tonight
[01:42.36] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[01:46.27] I did not intend to impersonate a friend
[01:53.73] I could not remain your friend
[01:57.33] Lest it would have made a difference then
[02:01.20] Could it possibly?
[02:05.12] Well no thanks to you and me
[02:09.81] Hey, this is the king speaking to you
[02:13.49] Bet you didn't think I'd make it this far
[02:15.55] But I know you all remember old Christian
[02:19.03] I was number 4, you see
[02:21.02] And people will think of me and say:
[02:23.38] A good king was he! And cry...
[02:25.15] woo woo
[02:38.96] All I do is run tonight
[02:42.57] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[02:46.36] If I didn't know my luck
[02:50.00] Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
[02:53.80] All I do is run tonight
[02:57.85] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[03:01.65] I did not intend to impersonate a friend
[03:09.16] If I didn't know my luck
[03:12.80] Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
[03:16.79] I shall ascend at last
[03:20.46] Like a question never asked
[03:24.31] All I do is run tonight
[03:27.92] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[03:31.70] I did not intend to impersonate a friend
[03:39.22] If I didn't know my luck
[03:43.10] Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
[03:46.96] I shall ascend at last
[03:50.68] Like a question never asked
[03:54.52] All I do is run tonight
[03:58.06] Even twice as sweet but half as bright
[04:01.92] I did not intend to impersonate a friend
