Chasing Victory - Kings Lyrics

Oh please, please, oh please
I'm begging on my knees
for a coin in the cup
I got a fatal disease
Could you help me get back on my feet?
Why don't you give me something you don't need?

Oh girl, I won't hassle you long
But if you show me some love
I'm gonna sing you a song
I know the streetlights circle my home
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king of the bones

And I'm falling asleep
To escape this dream

Well they call me crazy
They say I'm alone
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I'm gonna rattle your bones
Don't call me lazy
Cause I'm a dangerous man
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I guess I'm good as dead

I am the vermin's seed
I am the dirty thief
I've got the gutters key
You're all embarrassed of me
I've got blood on my shoes from another man
I killed while he was sleeping
please don't tell the feds
There's no mercy in their treatment

Mercy, mercy, mercy
We take the pills
Take the pills
Mercy, mercy, mercy
It's twice the thrill

And I'm falling asleep
To escape this dream

They call me crazy
They say I'm alone
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I'm gonna rattle your bones
Don't call me lazy
Cause I'm a dangerous man
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I guess I'm good as dead

Mercy, mercy, mercy
We take the pills
Take the pills
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Lean back and take the pills
Mercy, mercy, mercy
We take the pills
Take the pills
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Lean back and take the pills

And I'm falling asleep
To escape this dream

They call me crazy
They say I'm alone
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I'm gonna rattle your bones
Don't call me lazy
Cause I'm a dangerous man
I'm not a king of the world
But I'm a king in the streets
I guess I'm good as dead
