king street

Im wandering these city streets
Theres nothing here for me
All i see is people running round
Buying **** they dont need
Theres a man begging down on king street
And he grabs me by the wrist
He says son, you know what the biggest killer in this world is?
Its not money, not drugs, not guns.. he said its
Loneliness..
And its killing me..
Oh this loneliness
Its bringing me down
And hell sleep where the darkness falls
He wont get no curtain calls
And hes only got one pair of shoes
But hes got more serenity
Than the rest of humanity
Theyve been tricked into waiting in queues
And his father is dying
Hes got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And his motherd be lying
If she said she werent crying
Herself to sleep every night..
Every night..
He sees a woman waiting at the station steps
Her conversation fills the air
Shes telling the world about the trouble shes seen
But no one can hear
He wanders in to a church with its doors wide open
Hes welcomed in with a half hearted smile
Some guy tells him hes found all the answers
To things like money and drugs and guns..
Old man says what about this loneliness?
Cos its killing me..
Oh this loneliness
Its bringing me down..
Ill sleep where the darkness falls
I wont get no curtain calls
And ive only got one pair of shoes
But ive got more serenity
Than the rest of humanity
Theyve been tricked into waiting in queues
And my father is dying
Hes got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my motherd be lying
If she said she werent crying
Herself to sleep everynight..
And my father is dying
Hes got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my motherd be lying
If she said she werent crying
Herself to sleep everynight..
And my father is dying
Hes got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my motherd be lying
If she said she werent crying
Herself to sleep everynight..
Everynight..
Everynight..
Everynight ..
Im wandering these city streets
