King For A Day
Faith No More · Other Songs - Faith No More
This is the best party that I've ever been to
Today I asked for a god to pour some wine in my eyes
Today I asked for someone to shake some salt on my life
Look !
Everything's spinning
(We're on the ground)
Never cheer before you know who's winning
(Don't make a sound)
Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue
Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done
Someone to look to in need or in want or in war
If you give him everything, he may give you even more
This is the best party I've ever been to
Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes
