King Street Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm wandering these city streets
There's nothing here for me
All I see is people running round
Buying shit they don't need

There's a man begging down on King Street
And he grabs me by the wrist
He says 'Son, you know what the biggest killer in this world is?
It's not money, not drugs, not guns'

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He said, 'It's loneliness
And it's killing me
Mm, this loneliness
It's bringing me down'

[Chorus 1]
And he'll sleep where the darkness falls, he won't get no curtain calls
And he's only got one pair of shoes
But he's got more serenity than the rest of humanity
They've been tricked into waiting in queues

And his father is dying, he's got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And his mother'd be lying if she said she weren't crying
Herself to sleep every night
Every night

[Verse 2]
He sees a woman waiting at the station steps
Her conversation fills the air
She's telling the world about the trouble she's seen
But no one can hear

And he wanders into a church with its doors wide open
And he's welcomed in with a half-hearted smile
Some guy tells him he's found all the answers
To things like money and drugs and guns

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Old man says, 'What about this loneliness?
'Cause it's killing me
Mm, this loneliness
It's bringing me down'

[Chorus 2]
And I'll sleep where the darkness falls, I won't get no curtain calls
And I've only got one pair of shoes
But I've got more serenity than the rest of humanity
They've been tricked into waiting in queues

And my father is dying, he's got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my mother'd be lying if she said she weren't crying
Herself to sleep every night
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 3]
And my father is dying, he's got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my mother'd be lying if she said she weren't crying
Herself to sleep every night

And my father is dying, he's got something inside of him
It makes him feel more wrong than right
And my mother'd be lying if she said she weren't crying
Herself to sleep every night
Every night
Every night
Every night

[Outro]
Well, I'm wandering these city streets
There's nothing here for me
