Sun King lyrics
This is where it all ends
And the kinda dream that you've never seen
Well, yeah

Hot damn, ooh, mercy ma'am
What the hell you doing to me?
Ah, strutting round with your head held high
What you trying to prove, girl?

Black haired missy
Big brown eyes
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man

I'll do what I can
To take you off to the promised land

I'm a sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Sun king, honey
We can rule across the land

I'm a sun king, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, no

Hey, look out, little missy's about
Ripping up the town, well
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you make me frown

Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man
I'll do what I can
To t-t-take you to the promised land

A sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Yeah, sun king, honey
We can rule across this land

I'm a sun king, baby, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, well

Well step back you sinners
Step back
Looking good now,yeah
Feelings real good now
Oww,now check this out one time
Oh yeah

Let me tell you people
Now, listen good
City crawling like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn, well

Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
I see the sun begin to shine
I see the sun begin to shine

Sun king, baby yeah, oww
Let me take you by the hand
Oh, sun king, honey
We can rule across the land

I'm a sun king, baby, yeah yeah
With you, I'll share my throne
Sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, well

Whoa Whoa Whoa Yeah
Whoa Whoa Whoa

I'm a sun king baby yeah

x 2 Whoa Whoa Whoa
