"The King Is Dead" Lyrics

Gabrielle! You're heavy on my mind
But I see no sense in trying.
Sure as hell, leaving you is bound
To be a little bit like dying
But we've got to have more to share
That the bed that we sleep in
And I sincerely believe what we got ain't worth keeping.

Whoa me, who am I?
Girl, I can't see my reflection in your eyes.

The king is dead, long live the king!
Good luck to him who sits on your throne
'Cause you've called the tune
And he'll have to play the piper.
The king is dead, long live the king!
And if he sings the wrong kind of song
When you're all alone, lay your love on the drama.

Gabrielle! You're easy on my eyes
But that's part of your deception.
Hard to tell, it could be what you are
And what you show has no connection.
Now, you've got the ways of a child
But it's just to confuse me
And while I keep trying to find you
You're trying to lose me.

Lady of the tower, won't you come down?
Heavy is the head that wears your crown.

The king is dead, long live the king!
Good luck to him who sits on your throne
'Cause you've called the tune
And he'll have to play the piper.
The king is dead, long live the king!
And if he sings the wrong kind of song
When you're all alone, lay your love on the drama.
The king is dead, long live the king!
Good luck to him who sits on your throne
'Cause you've called the tune
And he'll have to play the piper.
The king is dead, long live the king!
And if he sings the wrong kind of song
When you're all alone, lay your love on the drama.

The king is dead, long live the king!
Good luck to him who sits on your throne!
