The camera rolls over your old best friend
You don't need him and you don't need them
You'll be dying in an instant, you'll be dying all alone
It don't matter what you did
There's no comfort in a throne
The drugs are just a countenance for sleeping in the day
The things that you forget and the things you gave away
Are reminders of an absence and a life that you've outgrown
There's nowhere that they can't find you
There's no comfort in a throne
Is it just your arrogance you easily betray?
On the doctors table we are all the same
Even when you're king you can fall, you can fall
It's a lonely proposition though it shelters you sometimes
And your comfort's your condition,
though it seems like it's a crime
Your brand new set of monologues will have to be postponed
Even when you're royalty
There's no comfort in a throne
