King Of The Night

You were like a fast car Burned up in a race And sitting on blocks In this backwater place Rusted at memories Bitter and proud While the race still goes on Without you somehow Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just right And the mercury feelin' Flooding the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight Too fast to fall Thought you were king of the night So empty the bottle And tell us some more What do you care If you've heard it before Price of your victories Cheaper til now You were fearless and foolish Forgotten somehow Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just right And the mercury feelin' Flooding the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight Too fast to fall Thought you were king of the night Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just right And the mercury feelin' Flooding the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight Too fast to fall Thought you were king of the night Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just right And the mercury feelin' Flooding the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight You were too fast to fall Thought you were king of the night
