LYRICS FOR "The Man Who Would Be King"
I have a secret for you
I've been told if you want to make it in this game
Got to have the luck
You got to have the look
To make what
I quite like to make it through the night
My heart beats slow fast
With a slight of hand
I might die
What about you over there?
Well
Well I know you know
I know you know I know
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing
La la la
La la la
La la la
Lived my dream today
And I have lived it yesterday
And I'll have lived it tomorrow
Ah
Well I hate the way that you say
But my heart has gone astray
With all these friendships slipped away
But there's a death
I lived my dreams today
I lived it yesterday
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
Anything else to say?
I lived my dream today
I lived it yesterday
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
So don't look at me that way!
What's about you man
What's about you man
What's about you man
What will you do when she comes here?
Oh she'll kill me
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing
La la la
La la la
La la la
