King Of The Thing Songtext / Lyric

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself.

Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf.

So I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go.

But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know.



What a long, long time...

Long, long time.

It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.

Wanderin' in the rain...

Losing my mind.

What a long, long time.

What a long, long time.



My days I've spent relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too

A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you.

So this time I swear I will loosen my grip.

On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips.






What a long, long time.

Long, long time.

It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.

Wanderin' in the rain,

Losing my mind.

What a long, long time.

What a long, long time.



So, over and over mile signs pass by my side

The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide

Behind these - forest trees - and greens that blind your eyes

To lounge upon that throne I bought,

Confer there with the wise.



What a long, long time.

Long, long time.

It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.

Wanderin' in the rain,

Losing my mind.

What a long, long time,

Long time... yeah.



So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear.

For who? What can I do? But let them all come through the wall

And though some oppose, many of these things I know,

I'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days.

I'm coming home.



What a long, long time.

Long, long time.

It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.

Wanderin' in the rain,

Losing my mind

What a long, long time.

What a long, long time.
