Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen in attendance, and boxing fans joining us around the world, it's show time! The Heavyweight Championship of the World...
I saw loneliness. Even as a child. I would find myself seeing hallucinatory images of my face changing and becoming cosmic and complete
The house is surrounded by helicopters
Saw you walking on your velvet lawn
Is it lonely on the moon?
You took a dive and swallowed all you could
Did you drink too much too soon?
Nothing left for you to fight about
And no-one wants to see you try
The nearest neighbours are a mile away
Does the ocean hear you cry?
Punching at the sky
They say the King is losin' his grip again
They say you're bullet proof, they say you feel no pain
It seems the hero is misunderstood again
Is it love or is it surgery
Makes her seem so ill at ease
As she's begging you to please calm down
In her silk Armani on her knees
Did you carry out those threats I heard
Or were you only playing macho?
And the stains on her Versace scarf
Were they really just Gazpacho?
Gazpacho
They say the King is watching his back again
They say the King is losing his grip again
Raging like a bull to an empty ring
D'you think they will forgive a hero anything?
Now the ring is just a band of gold
And your wife needs police protection
While you're sparring with the journalists
You're trying to win back her affection
Is this what it means to be a man boxing up all your emotion
So now she's gone and you're alone at last
You can tell it to the ocean
They say the King is losing his grip again
They say the King is countin' his numbered days
You never lost a fight in your whole life
You never had no trouble sleepin' through the night
The bottle and your doctor get you through the day
The boys who run the house'll make it all OK
You think they will forgive a hero anything
Maybe Hollywood... but maybe then again...
Now the ring is just a band of gold
Now the ring is just a band of gold
Drive the road
Ladies and gentlemen
Now the ring is just a band of gold
...towards that Rockingham address, we have literally thousands of onlookers stopping on both sides of the freeway and the south bound freeway is literally stopped. And people are lining the sides of the street. We have probably between 15 and 30 police vehicles in this pursuit right now. He's flown the coop, he's in the breeze, we don't know where he's at, the man is a fugitive
