Songtexte King of the Night - Live - Iain Matthews

You were like a fast car
Burned up in a race
And sitting on blocks
In this backwater place
Rusted at memories
Bitter and proud
While the race still goes on
Without you somehow

Wasn't that moonlight
And the starlight just right
And the mercury feelin'
Flooding the road
With your headlights
Like lovers in flight
Too fast to fall
Thought you were king of the night

So empty the bottle
And tell us some more
What do you care
If you've heard it before
Price of your victories
Cheaper til now
You were fearless and foolish
Forgotten somehow

Wasn't that moonlight
And the starlight just right
And the mercury feelin'
Flooding the road
With your headlights
Like lovers in flight
Too fast to fall
Thought you were king of the night

Wasn't that moonlight
And the starlight just right
And the mercury feelin'
Flooding the road
With your headlights
Like lovers in flight
Too fast to fall
Thought you were king of the night

Wasn't that moonlight
And the starlight just right
And the mercury feelin'
Flooding the road
With your headlights
Like lovers in flight
You were too fast to fall
Thought you were king of the night
