Marillion - King Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)How long can you standTightening upAvoiding the fightAvoiding the truthTighten the smileTighten the lieWill you get what you wantTo be cursed with your dreamsI hope for your sakeSomething gets in the wayHow long can you standLiving under the lensThe kiss of successThe ensuing, all consuming, messMessage of loveThey arrive everydayPeople you touchWasting awayPeople you dont knowGive you no choiceAnd youre sick to your stomachAt the sound of your voiceAnd the shape of your faceAnd the sound of your nameThey send you pictures of yourselfIts someone you dont knowAnd they call you a geniusCause youre easier to sellBut the fire in your bellyThat gave you the songsIs suddenly goneAnd you feel like a fakeIs that what you want?I hope for your sake..Youve got what it takesYouve got what it takesYouve got what it takesTo be spoilt to death
