Mew - King Christian lyrics

1577 there was born a king of architectual passion

Placed in dire peril he would stand tall and erect

In retrospect

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

I did not intend to impersonate a friend

If I didn't know my luck

Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

I shall ascend at last

Like a question never asked

Think him not so good natured

Oh no, not the slightest bit, quite the opposite

Because even though he would build things

He onto his queen was mean, poor Anna Katherine

She's crying

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

I did not intend to impersonate a friend

I could not remain your friend

Lest it would have made a difference then

Could it possibly?

Well no thanks to you and me

Hey, this is the king speaking to you

Bet you didn't think I'd make it this far

But I know you all remember old Christian

I was number 4, you see

And people will think of me and say:

A good king was he! And cry...

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

If I didn't know my luck

Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

I did not intend to impersonate a friend

If I didn't know my luck

Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

I shall ascend at last

Like a question never asked

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

I did not intend to impersonate a friend

If I didn't know my luck

Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

I shall ascend at last

Like a question never asked

All I do is run tonight

Even twice as sweet but half as bright

I did not intend to impersonate a friend
