Lyrics

Well my mama held me one time, then kissed me goodbye
But I still believe in love
She said she'd come back, I know she lied
I still believe in love
She tossed me a crown on her way outta town
But I still believe in love
Bestowed me this kingdom to wear it around
But I still believe in love
Hail, hail the orphan king
With the crooked smile and the crackerjack ring
It ain't easy bein' the king
But I still believe in love
Well, you don't know alone 'til you sit on a throne
I still believe in love
A castle ain't home, it's just hunger and stone
But I still believe in love
The only love I had is love that I stole
I still believe in love
The kindness of strangers is my ace in the hole
I still believe in love
Hail, hail the orphan king
With an alley cat court and a song to sing
The baronial bard of broken things
I still believe in love
Well, I wish on dark stars, sleep in parked cars
Wake up in the schoolyard, face down by a squad car
I am the orphan king
Hail, hail the orphan king
Most sovereign lord of suffering
Like Moses or Batman or James Dean
I still believe in love
I believe
I believe in love
