Electric Throne

Your king was just a con-man
And the crown you found
Was not more than a beggar’s bowl
Turned upside down
But it’s still intoxicating
And you wear it well
A halo that could bring the devil
Right out of you
Electric throne it gets me high
(To hang you high)
A beggar’s soldier is taking over my mind
To hang you high!
(Kim Benzie)
Your saints were just a signpost
Somebody turned around
Still wearing the same addiction
Turned inside out
You break the bones of history
You break the speed of sound
For not more than a beggar’s bowl
Turned upside down
(Kim Benzie)
Your head and heart become estranged
Bodies hanging on the high-road
And maybe they, gave you away
And left you hanging on the high-nail
They left you high
It left you high
And do the pearls of wisdom form a noose?
To hang you high
To pull the more you move
And maybe it gave you away
And maybe it gave you away
And left you hanging high
And maybe it gave you away.
Or does the crown wear you?
Corrupting hands hold you
A devil by your side
This cosmonaut
Of the soul
But are you still wearing the crown?
Are you still wearing the crown?
