King

I’m gonna be king, I’ll put you up in my tower
you’ll make my bells ring at the top of the hour
and when the sun comes rising with the early alarms
I’ll be licking my fingers clean of your charms
I’m on my way to the battle baby, gimme some love
give it up
I’m gonna be king, your not-so-secret obsession
you’ll be my thing, be my primo selection
and when the sun comes rising with the morning call
I’ll be sticking two pins in your voodoo doll
I’m on my way to the battle baby, gimme some love
give it all
I’m gonna be king
I’ll be your king
I’ll be your king
I’ll be your king
I’m gonna be king, your only holy desire
I’ll give you wings, I’ll give you fire
and when the sun comes rising and you won’t stay
I’ll be flipping two fingers while you’re walking away
I’m gonna meet my maker, I don’t care what you say
I’m gonna be king

treehouse backyard reindeer game
sidewalk schoolyard summer days
girl on fire when I step outside
I’m educated, purified
well you’re kinda cute and you’re kinda fun
but you’re kinda stupid and you’re kinda dumb
you can copy my lessons and I’ll share my treats
but I’m a grown-ass woman and I’m playing for keeps
no boys allowed
no boys allowed
the essence of my philosophy
is wrapped up in silk and mythology
symbiotic symbols in harmony
purebred, immaculate, pedigree
work work baby baby butterfly
you wanna get on top you’re gonna have to try
love love baby gonna take you high
I’ll see you on my level when you learn to climb
no boys allowed
no boys allowed
so don’t say I didn’t warn you, you know I did
I can play along but I ain’t no kid
I’m ride or die babe, full power
can’t hang tough you’ll be devoured
straight tens honey, that’s how I roll
no halfway house, no lazybones
it’s not a competition, I already won
now you can shine my trophy ‘till I say you’re done

I had a friend and he played a guitar
C G
he sang to the campfires through the flame and the spark
C F
but now he’s got a job, he’s got a wife and a mortgage
C G C
and he’s too busy working to sing songs in the dark
F C
I’m calling on saints, I’m calling on angels
F G G7
I’m calling on friends and the love I let slide
Am F
Call on me, babe, and you know that I’ll be there
G C
when the fire dies
We were just kids, we didn’t know sorrow
we lived at the lakeside, we slept in the pines
you grew up quick and you moved to the city
you got caught by the concrete and the California wine
I’m calling on saints, I’m calling on angels
I’m calling on friends and the love I let die
Call on me, babe, and you know that I’ll be there
when the bottle’s dry
If there’s a god, I’ll bet he plays a guitar
I’ll bet he likes campfire and getting drunk late at night
he laughs like a child, he works for the weekend
he sings through the darkness ‘till the mornin’ light
I’m calling on saints, I’m calling on angels
I’m calling on friends and the love I can’t hide
Call on me, babe, and you know that I’ll be there
I’ll be right by your side
Call on me, babe, I’m right by your side

A - F#m - E
in the beginning the world was new
you were the sun so I became the moon
I was a stranger, you were my friend
so you know I’ll be yours until the end
hold on to dreamers, hold on to ghosts
hold on to whoever carries you home
sometimes in silence, sometimes in song
hold on to whoever helps you hold on
when I was a seagull, I knew your name
so I called it louder and louder ‘till you came
you were a jester, and I was your joke
but I was the best one that you had ever told
hold on to dreamers, hold on to ghosts
hold on to whoever carries you home
sometimes in silence, sometimes in song
hold on to whoever helps you hold on
now I am a sailor, you are the breeze
blow me clearer skies and calmer seas
you are a miner, I am the gold
how deep, how deep can we hold...
...on to dreamers, hold on to ghosts
hold on to whoever carries you home
sometimes in silence, sometimes in song
hold on to whoever helps you hold on
hold on to whoever helps you hold on
