King of the Thing Lyrics

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf I bought myself a throne, to reside and let myself go But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know
What a long, long time, long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine Wanderin' through the rain, I already lost my mind What a long, long time, it's been a long time
My days I've spent relaxin', so the night's relaxin' too There's a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missin' you So this time I swear, I will loosen my grip On past times, bad lines, meaningless trips
What a long, long time, long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine Wanderin' through the rain, losing my mind What a long, long time, yeah, it's been a long time
So, over and over, mile signs pass by my side The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide Behind these forest trees, green that blind your eyes And lounge upon that throne I bought, confer there with the wise
What a long, long time, long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine Wanderin' through the rain, I already lost my mind What a long, long time, long time, yeah
So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear For who? Now what can I do, but let you all come through my wall And though some oppose, many of these things I know Well, I'll stay right here alone in New York City and dream I'll get away
What a long, long time, long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine Wanderin' through the rain, I've already lost my mind What a long, long time
It's been a long time, what a long long time Long time, long long time
