You're Only King Once

Beulah

Have you seen that moon-faced kid?

that burned out hill hangs right above his head

it's so hard not to be crushed

when you're praying for too much

and the stars refuse to shine for you

they do it just to spy

well they know you're trying to hard



hoping for a little more than just another kiss goodnight

your face is full and paved with lines

your hair is receding fast and so is your mind

and I'm lazy, I won't budge

because you're praying way too much

and don't take that pill

your head will swell

you'll only be king once

just once,

you'll only be king



smile, please smile

I just want you happy

smile, please smile

I just want you happy



and the stars refuse to shine for you

they do it just to spy

well they know you're trying to hard



smile, please smile

I just want you happy

smile, please smile

I just want you happy

I just want you happy

I just want you happy
