King of Your Castle Songtext
von Echo & the Bunnymen

Nature abhors a vacuum, I have read
Tell me, how do you explain your empty head?
You hurt the one you love because you can
As if violence were a virtue in a man

The king of your castle
Life behind you, power blinds you
A fistful of feeling
Blame it all on lack of mother love

The mad, glad days of romance were the best
When you kept your cards pressed tight against your chest
But soon, soon, all too soon she′d understand
And she'd see and feel the back of your right hand


The king of your castle
Life behind you, power blinds you
A fistful of feeling
Blame it all on lack of mother love

King rat, god in a barstool, hold your court
So self-centered, so deluded, so self-taught
Homebound sound as a pound, you′ve bought your round
And round one begins tonight behind closed doors

The king of your castle
Life behind you, power blinds you
A fistful of feeling
Blame it all on lack of mother
The king of your castle
Life behind you, power blinds you
A fistful of feeling
Blame it all on lack of mother love
