King of the World Songtext
von Overhead

Soon and up everywhere
And until the end
We′re left with their voices
Who had nothing to do
But leapt in the air
Whenever their brain says

Perhaps it's the destiny of the vile
To crush all yer doubts of self survival
To be left alone it′s final
Fact is, your back's up off the ground

Witness the king of the world
He's sitting on his throne
Intoxicated, worst one of ′em all
Oh I have made my mind up
Centuries pass look what I got
It′s an imaginary crown
On an ordinary clown


It's the moon there′s nothing to fear
Our harvest is near
Come drink from our fountain
You whose throat is still there
Just shout if you hear
Come down from your mountain

Alas now the rest of us are liars
Collectively captives of denial
To be left alone is final
Fact is, your back's up off the ground

Witness the king of the world
He′s sitting on his throne
Intoxicated, worst one of 'em all
Oh I have made my mind up
Centuries pass look what I got
It′s an imaginary crown
On an ordinary clown

We hear voices
Underground installations
Monitor the sounds
Of pixelating quantum motion
Cascading round and round we know
Until it's all and everything
Has a way of turning into everything
That's all


Witness the king of the world
He′s sitting on his throne
Intoxicated, worst one of ′em all
Oh I have made my mind up
Centuries pass look what I got
It's an imaginary crown
On an ordinary clown
