Am I a king
Or am I a clown
There's such a fine line
Between a red nose and a crown
I was anointed
'Cause I can take the heat
But they didn't notice
I'd set fire to my feet.
Won't somebody
Please help me
Remember
To kill the cobra
Wrapped round my neck
When I heard the footsteps
I was upstairs in my gown
We know you're all broken they said
We're here to put you down
But I'd built a tunnel
To make a quick escape
But I wanted, I wanted, A challenge
So I filled it with snakes.
Won't somebody
Please help me
Remember
To kill the cobra
Wrapped round my neck
In the Pacific
Is an island filled with gold
It's there if I mistakenly
Grow useless and old
But now my silk dresses are torn
I'll catch the wind's tail
I'll use driftwood for a hull
And at full moon I'll set sail
Won't somebody
Please help me
Somebody
Please help me
Somebody
Please help me
Remember
To kill the cobra
Wrapped round my neck
