Lyrics King of Fools - Rafferty

Beauty pearls on the disco ante
Boiled and shinning like a brand new nine
She says, "Welcome to Hell"
I say, "Call me Dante"
She's got the mind of a demon
And a glass of white wine

She's my coast in the fire
My needle and my spoon
All I want is to get high on her and never leave the room

But everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Forever every game I played was by my rules, oh-oh
And everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Never did I think that I would play the fool

I'm the king of, I'm the king of, I'm the king
I'm the king of fools
I'm the king of, I'm the king of, I'm the king (of fucking)
I'm the king

Warm embrace, I'm on a floating disaster
I love the skies, it's a cruise ship heist
It is a cheap to the feast when you mess with the master
Little tap of the iceberg and pay that price

She's my coast in the fire
My needle and my spoon
All I want is to get high on her and never leave the room

But everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Forever every game I played was by my rules, oh
And everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Never did I think that I would play the fool

I'm the king of, I'm the king of, I'm the king (of fucking)
I'm the king of fools
I'm the king of, I'm the king of, I'm the king
I'm the king of fools

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown in this life

But everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Forever every game I played was by my rules, oh
And everybody's gotta be played sometimes
Played sometimes, played sometimes
Never did I think that I would play the fool

I'm the king of
I'm the king of, no
