King of the Thing (Live) (from 34th & 8th)

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself
Put my pride down on the table put my fear on the shelf
I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone I'll never know
What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wandering through the rain
I already lost my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time

My days I've spent relaxing turned to nights relaxing too
Therе's a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights arе missing you
So this time, I swear I, will loosen my grip
On past times, and bad lines, and meaningless trips

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wandering through the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time

So, over and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself the more you tend to hide
Behind these forest trees and greens that blind your eyes
To lounge upon that throne I bought
Confer there with the wise

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wandering through the rain
I already lost my mind
What a long, long time
Long time

Hey

So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear
For who? Now what can I do? But let you all come through my wall
And though some oppose many of these things I know
I'll stay right here alone in New York City
And dream my day away

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wandering through the rain
I've already lost my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time
What a long, long time
Long time
Long, long time
