The Mad King

(album: Mouth To Mouth - 1987)

Someday baby you will be mine
Someday darling all in good time
Feverish ravings, spend them on you
Take my savings, spend them all too

Baby oh baby, what can I do
I know I love you, you love me too
It's complicated in my mind
I'm separating cruel from kind

Forgive me baby it's a seasonal change
You must be lucky 'cause you're well out of range
Forgive me baby I would mess you around
Stay up, it's better than down

Someday baby I will find you
Sometime darling when I am through
With stern faces, white shirts, holding me down
Can't see the blue skies through all their frowns

It's complicated in my mind
I'm separating cruel from kind
I want to hold you every night
Darling oh darling I need your help

Forgive me baby it's a seasonal change
You must be lucky 'cause you're well out of range
Forgive me baby I would mess you around
Stay up, it's better than down
Stay up, it's better than down

When the national anthem plays
Then I will sit while you should stand
Coronate me now before the whole world disappears

Someday baby I will be king
Someday darling people will sing
The royal couple sitting in bed
Please, please release my head
And crown it instead

Forgive me baby it's a seasonal change
You must be lucky 'cause you're well out of range
Forgive me baby I would mess you around
Stay up, it's better than down
Stay up, it's better than down
Better than down, better than down
Better than down

I am not the mad king
I am not the mad king
I am not the mad king
I am...
