Mew - King Christian lyrics

1577, there was born a
King of architectual passion
Placed in dire peril, he would
Stand tall and erect, in retrospect

All I do is run tonight
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
I did not intend to impersonate a friend
If I didn't know my luck
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
I shall ascend at last like
A question never asked

Think him not so good natured
Oh, no, not the slightest bit
Quite the opposite
Because even though he would build things
He unto his queen was
Mean, poor Anna Kathrine, she's crying

All I do is run tonight
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
I did not intend to impersonate a friend
I could not remain your friend
Lest it would have made a difference then
Could it possibly? Well
No thanks to you and me

Hey, this is the king speakin' to you
Bet you didn't think I'd make it this far
But I know you all remember old Christian
I was number four, you see
And people will think of me and
Say: A good king was he!
All I do is run tonight
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
If I didn't know my luck
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

All I do is run tonight (All I do is run)
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
(Even twice as sweet but half as bright)
I did not intend to impersonate a friend
(I did not intend)
If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know)
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
I shall ascend at last
Like a question never asked
(I shall ascend to you again)
All I do is run tonight (All I do is run)
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
(Even twice as sweet but half as bright)
I did not intend to impersonate a friend
(I did not intend)
If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know)
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
I shall ascend at last
Like a question never asked
(I shall ascend to you again)
All I do is run tonight (All I do is run)
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
(Even twice as sweet but half as bright)
I did not intend to impersonate a friend
(I did not intend)
If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know)
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock
I shall ascend at last
Like a question never asked
(I shall ascend to you again)
