lyrics

Enthroned in his corner with a sooky face
He follows all the action as it happens
But he dare not say a thing
He sights seven sycophants
He'd never take advantage … honest
There ain't no happy ending waiting for the king

When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around
Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it
When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around
Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it
REPEAT

Returned to his owner, he knew the pack would soon forget the time he ran the action, threw them scraps and kept them thin
These sly slaves and sycophants, he never could have managed without
So now he wonders if he ever was the king

Sometimes he wonders if he truly was the king
Everybody wants to know if this shit means anything
... means anything

When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around
Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it
When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around
Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it
REPEAT

Reunited with his son, he threw his guns back in the ocean
Then took his time to tell the things that he had seen
He had sideswiped the sycophants, learnt a new dance
But he would never be king
