I’m as crazy as a clown tonight
a clown without a crown tonight
a simple sack of wishes and bones.
I’m as useless as a memory
the day before it came to me
to save your time stitches and stones

But once in my life I was the king of the earth
once in my life,
I was.

I’ve flown horses on the skies above
that ain’t enough for you my love
to fill these empty castles with ghosts
I’ve married devils to their history
stood where you would bury me
through a time of statues and rows

But once in my life I was the king of the Earth
Once in my life
I was.

now that the stars have frozen in their places
all that I’ve hold seems gone
now that the stars have fallen from their faces
I will see you on

I’ll never be your picture present
but I hope you got the rose I sent
to save your town of stitches and bones
I’m nothing more than a simple man
born to be American
out to draw these bridges and motes

but once in my life I was the kind of the Earth
Once in my life…
