Lyrics

I took a walk to the dark side of the moon
Found a secret passage that let back to a room
Hollywood is packaged and they’ll sell you till you die
The agent’s growing fatter on the dimming in your eyes
It's one last step for Mary Jane, the gateway is now closed
It’s time for harder drugs than alcohol to make us feel we aren't alone
So one last call for alcohol, we’re swimming with the dead
Let’s raise a glass to praise the bartender for forgetting what we said

My conditions sane, my prescriptions wane,
Make me a king, just for today
My intention is dead, my intention is dead, what more can I say
If I were King for a Day

The writings on the television, burned into your head
We are all slaves when the channel changed,
Brave when we are fed,
All our Surfs have turned to suicide,
fruit in hollow eyes
Turn the turnips to formaldehyde
to store us for all time

We are Kings just for one Day

My conditions sane, my prescriptions wane,
Make me your king, just for a day
My intention is dead, my intention is dead, what more can I say
If I were King for a Day
