When You're King

The camera rolls over your old best friend
 You don't need him and you don't need them
 You'll be dying in an instant, you'll be dying all alone
 It don't matter what you did
 There's no comfort in a throne
 The drugs are just a countenance for sleeping in the day
 The things that you forget and the things you gave away
 Are reminders of an absence and a life that you've outgrown
 There's nowhere that they can't find you
 There's no comfort in a throne
 Is it just your arrogance you easily betray?
 On the doctors table we are all the same
 Even when you're king you can fall, you can fall
 It's a lonely proposition though it shelters you sometimes
 And your comfort's your condition,
 Though it seems like it's a crime
 Your brand new set of monologues will have to be postponed
 Even when you're royalty
 There's no comfort in a throne
