King of the Thing
It's been a long, long time since I lost myself
Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf
So 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' in the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
What a long, long time
My days I've spent relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you
So this time I swear I will loosen my grip
On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips
What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' in the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
What a long, 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 and greens that blind your eyes
To 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' in the rain
Losing 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? What can I do? But let them all come through the wall
And though some oppose, many of these things I know
I'll stay here alone and lose myself on the riverways of days
I'm coming home
What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' in the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
What a long, long time
What a long, long time
What a long, long time, yeah
Long, long time
