King Charles - Ivory Road Lyrics
You're the nose on my bulletThe trigger on my gunYou're the sandbank in the oceanOxygen in my bloodYou're the fastest of the fishYou're the prickliest pearYou're a chameleon in the nightYou're the sahara's sun glareYou're my mind's restYou're the strings on my guitarYou're the wax in my moustacheThe keys to my carYou're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusionYou cool them, fool themAnd they hope so muchAnd you let them downAnd you watch from your rockAnd your heart beats fast as you watch their's stopI will keep on loving'Cos I believe in loveI don't mind dyingIf you follow me upYour victory's your defeatYour head above your heartOnly the brave surrenderDeath cannot tear us apartWell my smile is widerThan your's when we meetAnd the winter is colderFor me underneathAnd I know that you glowFrom the inside outYou can keep it for yourselfAnd I'll go withoutYou are the fire and I'm the chimneyYou'll burn away and I'll choke on your memoryAll the words, my sense, you're the poet to my penYou're the dream that brings the morning sadnessStart the day storm in my headWell you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcaseYou're positively 4th street isolated in my itunesYou'r the word in the dictionary that I can't spellCan't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the timeYour own pair of trousers look better on meThe boots of spanish leatherAnd the bottom of the seaEvery symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaningEvery feeling, every sensationOnly real when I'm dreamingI will keep on loving'Cos I believe in loveI don't mind dyingIf you follow me upYour victory's your defeatYour head above your heartOnly the brave surrenderDeath cannot tear us apartWell I wish we were animals free of loves gamesI wish we were snails with really big shellsI wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wildI'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tiredI'm the elephant in the circusOh, you're my trainerYou'd never let me goBut if you did I would stay hereIn love there is freedomBut it must be returnedThere must be sacrificeLove must be learntA donkey, a mule, a lifetime of workIn death he rests his head from his reinsNo burden to bare but work left him lameAnd the lion on the mountain chased from his prideHis lioness stolen, his rival survivesThe sound of his cubs in death are dimHe knows his world well, no pain can defeat himWild horses in the wildernessWill know no journey homeWell my love is locked in chainsThe lion walks aloneOh the lion walks aloneNature is cruelBut he knows it's his homeHe to his demonsAnd you to your ownPlease let me stand by youAnd we'll conquer them allWe will conquer them allOh I will conquer them all (x3)
