Livin' Like Kings

(album: Saint Georges Road - 2021)

Lexie told me all the stuff I had to do
Get my head straight reassemble the old crew
Meet up at Mannie's when the moon is full
Don't lose the plot cause we got one last job to pull
Might need some muscle if things don't go to plan
Six-foot six hands like bricks Geordie is your man
Now cracking safes requires a certain kind of skill
Romeo's got ice for blood he's handy with a drill

Can't move without a driver sharp with nerves of steel
Don't want to brag but I'm that guy behind the wheel
Gotta have a mastermind who knows which way to win
A face like an angel that's where Lexie comes in

When this night is over
It's gold palaces, diamond rings
Riding high in clover
We'll be living, living like kings

The stage was set all the pieces put in place
I kept the motor humming cool in my own space
Counting down the seconds a shotgun by my side
Waiting for the boys to break the business open wide
Just like clockwork Geordie scurried in the dark
With Romeo not far behind lit up by a cigarette spark
Took our haul to Lexie's she said we'd get our share
When we rocked up next morning Lexie wasn't there

When this night is over
It's gold palaces, diamond rings
Riding high in clover
We'll be living like kings

Years went by time goes slow locked up in a cage
Couldn't pin the heist on me I went down for my 28 gauge
So I put it all behind me and ran out of people to hate
On independence day there was Geordie at the gate
We drove into the city picked up Romeo on the way
Spent all night at Mannie's until he said we couldn't stay
We cruised the streets together joking in the morning rain
Saw a stiff who looked a lot like Lexie with a needle in her vein

When this night is over
It's gold palaces, diamond rings
Riding high in clover
We'll be living, living like kings

When this night is over
It's gold palaces, diamond rings
Riding high in clover
We'll be living, living like kings

Living like kings
