King (Asking for Sleep)
lyrics by Daniel Williams Goldberg

Turn down the lights
pull back the sheets
uncover his head
does anyone know who he is

he could've been king tonight
could've been king
you got what you asked for man
you're asking for sleep
wasn't it more than a monkey
a monkey could do
but now you're
but now you're

caught by your saviour
but your saviour was you
and you entered the crossfire
with...
mechanics not working
you're a broken down chair
the more that you pushed it
was the less that you cared

but you could've been king tonight
you could've been king
you got what you were asking for
you were asking for sleep
wasn't it more than a monkey
a monkey could do
but now you're
and now you're

you could've been king tonight
could've been king
but you got what you asked for man
you were asking for sleep
was it more than a monkey
a monkey could do
but now you're
but now you're
gone

something going wrong around here

...for Allen / 2001
