Electric Throne

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Electric throne it gets me high (To hang you high) A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind (To hang you high!) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] Electric throne it gets me high (To hang you high) A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind (To hang you high!) [Bridge 1] 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 [Instrumental] [Bridge 2] 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 [Instrumental] [Bridge 3] 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? [Chorus 3] Electric throne it gets me high (To hang you high) A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind (To hang you high!)
