King Of Kings

Echo And The Bunnymen · Live In Liverpool [2002]

Met Jesus up on a hill

He confessed I was dressed to kill

Saw fear eternal in his eyes

He's seen what happens when the soul dies



I'm the king of kings

Wearing broken wings

I've lost my crown

The world so far below

And all I really know

Is that you don't look down



Came alive in the dead of night

Sought salvation in the city lights

One more drink then one drink more

Every hour like the one before

I'm the king of kings

Wearing broken wings

I've lost my crown

The world so far below

And all I really know

Is that you don't look down



Don't look down

It's such a long way to fall



Came alive in the dead of night

Sought salvation in the city lights

One more drink then one drink more

Every hour like the one before



You're like me, and I'm like you

Can't see the point in a point of view

All time lows we're hitting the high

Two wrongs tryin' to make it alright



I'm the king of kings

Wearing broken wings

I've lost my crown

The world so far below

And all I really know

Is that you don't look down
