(music:marillion lyrics:steve hogarth & john helmer) | |
Saw you walking on your velvet lawn | |
Is it lonely on the moon? | |
You took a dive and swallowed all you could | |
Did you drink too much too soon? | |
Nothing left for you to fight about | |
And no-one wants to see you try | |
The nearest neighbours are a mile away | |
Does the ocean hear you cry? | |
Punching at the sky | |
They say the king is losin' his grip again | |
They said you're bullet proof, they said you feel no pain | |
It seems the hero is misunderstood again | |
Is it love or is it surgery | |
Makes he seem so ill at ease | |
As she's begging you to please calm down | |
In her silk armani on her knees | |
Did you carry out those threats i heard | |
Or were you only playing macho? | |
And the stains on her versace scarf | |
Were they really just gazpacho? | |
They say the king is watching his back again | |
They say the king is losing his grip again | |
Raging like a bull to an empty ring | |
D'you think they will forgive a hero anything? | |
Now the ring is just a band of gold | |
And your wife needs police protection | |
While you're sparring with the journalists | |
You're trying to win back her affection | |
Is this what it means to be a man boxing up all your emotion | |
So now she's gone and you're alone at last | |
You can tell it to the ocean | |
They say the king is losing his grip again | |
They say the king is countin' his numbered days | |
You never lost a fight in your whole life | |
You never had no trouble sleepin' through the night | |
The bottle and the doctor get you through the day | |
The boys who run the house'll make it all ok | |
You think they will forgive a hero anything | |
Maybe hollywood... but maybe then again... | |
Now the ring is just a band of gold... | |
Drive the road... |
