Electric Throne Songtext / Lyric

Your king was just a con-man

And the crown you found,

Was not more than a beggar's bowl,

Turned upside down.

But it's still intoxicating

And you wear it well

A halo that could bring the devil,

Right out of you.



Electric throne it gets me high

(To hang you high)

A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind

(To hang you high)






[Kim Benzie]

Your saints were just a signpost,

Somebody turned around.

Still wearing the same addiction,

Turned inside out.

You break the bones of history,

You break the speed of sound,

For not more than a beggar's bowl,

Turned upside down.



Electric throne it gets me high

(To hang you high)

A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind

(To hang you high)



[Kim Benzie]

Your head and heart become estranged

Bodies hanging on the high-road

And maybe they, gave you away

And left you hanging on the high-nail.

They left you high.

It left you high.



And do the pearls of wisdom form a noose?

To hang you high,

To pull the more you move.

And maybe it gave you away.

And maybe it gave you away,

And left you hanging high



And maybe it gave you away...

Or does the crown wear you?

Corrupting hands hold you.

A devil by your side



This cosmonaut

Of the soul.

But are you still wearing the crown?

Are you still wearing the crown?



Electric throne it gets me high

(To hang you high)

A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind

(To hang you high)
