Lyrics The King Blues

The King Blues

Headbutt

She had a scream that rattled

The seeds inside the apples

When she uncaged her cackle

Jackals travelled just to battle

She gives the girls screwface

And the men crooked neck

When she walked by my place

I heard a string quartet

Asthmatics lose their breath

The traffic all gets wrecked

The Smokers laps collect

All Their dropped cigarettes

Kids fall onto the decks

Cos they don't watch their steps

And when they're on the floor

They draw her on their etch a sketch

She says that life is like a jungle

And not like a zoo

Participate, don't spectate,

Become the view

Man if Scarface said it

It's just got to be true

So this world, this world right here

This world is for you

I said to all my mates, she won't make a monkey out of me

But when she kissed me it felt like a headbutt

It felt like a headbutt

Staring up at the ceiling

Nurses face disbelieving

Scalpel on arteries

Organs taken larcenies

Holds it up like a trophy

But that heart belongs to Sophie

Slices pieces of me

Each one beats individually

So now I bite the bullet

I'll try to chew right through it

Grinds my teeth to the gums

I gots to see what I've become

There is danger ahead

With a mouthful of lead

But when I fly

It gets harder to deny

So I stood on the shore trying to blow the clouds away

Right back into the sky made out of papier mache

The Sparkles from the moon, danced on top of the waves

Like they knew it was the last song ever to be played

I said to all my mates, she won't make a monkey out of me

But when she kissed me it felt like a headbutt

It felt like a headbutt

She was up high on the stage just dancing it

Breathing fire like God himself had demanded it

Like he'd personally asked and commanded it

Heaven's packed but thanks to her they're still cramming it

She made the sinners blessed by the way that she dressed

Stripteasing, fire breathing, dancing burlesque

Producing beads of cold sweats on mens foreheads

She says welcome to the city of the suffragettes

And if you step out with me you'd better step correct

I said to all my mates, she won't make a monkey out of me

But when she kissed me it felt like a headbutt

It felt like a headbutt
