featuring the Candlelight Chamber Orchestra

lyrics

I flew a whiskey bottle rocket to the Moon
I sailed a dead cat cross the Humboldt Park lagoon
I carried February halfway into June
To wear this crown, to wear this crown

Here in my kingdom I can walk the streets unknown
Among my subjects, unexalted and alone
I had to fall so low just to ascend this throne
To wear this crown, to wear this crown

No usurpers staking claim to my prestige
No barbarians sapping walls or laying siege
Who'd want this empire anyway? Noblesse oblige
To wear this crown, to wear this crown

I'll love you til the wheels fall off the Lake St. el
Until this pearly soul has shed it's salty shell
I'll waltz your empty gown around the floor of Hell
To wear this crown, to wear this crown

Just let him be the one to sing you down off the ledge. ... more
