THE ONCE AND THE FUTURE KING

You can see it in my eyes
It should come as no surprise
It‘s falling like a shooting star
You can see it in my eyes
It should come as no surprise
It‘s falling like a shooting star
Father,oh master how did you let it get this far
You should hear it in my words
Vulgar without a cause
I cannot stay out in the cold
Father, oh father I, father I‘m going down
to see the world
So long, where do I go?
I‘m strong, but what do I know
My Lord, where do I go?
My Lord what have you got to show for this?
My Lord, o my Lord
I served you well, won‘t you say a single word
I served you well, but you won’t speak to me
anymore
Oh Lord, I tell you, it‘s the best show
in the world
How can I stay away
If I‘m to be led astray?
Oh, Lord. Oh, my Lord
Come down here
Come down here
Come down here
With the rest of us
Stay in my house
Sleep in my bed
It‘s right there
Under the tip
Take your coat off
Drink the wine and eat the food
The children will slit your throat
When the morning comes
Come down here
Come down here and sing
Right under the bomb
You can touch the tip
All together now
Are you in my way?
Are you in my way?
Does the moon look out of frame?
Do you sleep?
Do you sleep?
