King Of The Night - Lyrics - Ian Matthews

You're like a fast car burnt up in a race And sitting on blocks in this backwater place Rested out memories bitter and proud While the race still goes on without you somehow Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just bright And the mercury feeling Float in the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight Too fast to fall You thought you were king of the night So empty the bottle And tell us some more What do you care If we've heard it before Price of your victories Cheapens the now You were fearless and foolish Forgotten somehow Wasn't that moonlight And the starlight just bright And the mercury feeling Float in the road With your headlights Like lovers in flight Too fast to fall You thought you were king of the night
