House of Kings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I mean it when I tell ya You'll be broken by the world you carry Watch the vultures pick your bones and Burn your house down in forgotten valley There's a hillside, you won't climb it When you're left out - what you doin' here? Take the long road before midnight It's a long way to the next frontier [Chorus] You stole the moon from the sky A shadow prince in the house of kings Now you've got nowhere to go Caught in a wild wind Stand on a high mountain top The city lights are a diamond ring Maybe they'll all turn to glass Leaving us wondеring [Verse 2] There's no angel on your doorstеp That will save you from the road you travel Keep it rollin' for a long time Watch confusion on their face unravel There's a poster on a white wall And you're dressed up like a showroom dummy But you sit there like a blind man Pockets empty, you ain't got no money [Chorus] You stole the moon from the sky A shadow prince in the house of kings Now you've got nowhere to go Caught in a wild wind Stand on a high mountain top The city lights are a diamond ring Maybe they'll all turn to glass Leaving us wondering [Chorus] (2x) You stole the moon from the sky A shadow prince in the house of kings Now you've got nowhere to go Caught in a wild wind Stand on a high mountain top The city lights are a diamond ring Maybe they'll all turn to glass Leaving us wondering
