From a Jack to a King - West

A joy, hard learned in winter was the warming of the bed You'd shake for minutes there and move your legs Wrap the blanket over you and keep your head within Let your breath heat the air until you'd feel it getting thin 'Uiscefhuaraithe' The feel of coldness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That come natural as a dream you didn't know that you were in And darlin', all my dreamin' Is only put to shame And darlin', all my dreamin' Has only been given a name But it came easy, darlin' As natural as another leg around you in the bed frame In summer's heat, I learned to dread the comin' of the night The awful things we do to make the head go quiet You'd press your body to the concrete when you were small The rains of winter seemed to never leave the walls 'Uiscefhuaraithe' The feel of coolness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That God in his awful wisdom first programs in But darlin', all my dreamin' Is only been put to shame And darlin', all my dreamin' Has only been given a name But it happened easy, darlin' As natural as another leg around you in the bed And I wish I could say That the river of my arms have found the ocean And I wish I could say the cold lake water of my heart Christ, it's boilin' over But it happened easy, darlin' Natural as another leg around you in the bed frame

I had a king in a tenement castle Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown He's taken the curtains down He's swept with the broom of contempt And the rooms have an empty ring He's cleaned with the tears of an actor Who fears for the laughter's sting I can't go back there anymore You know my keys won't fit the door You know my thoughts don't fit the man They never can They never can I had a king dressed in drip-dry and paisley Lately he's taken to saying I'm crazy and blind He lives in another time Ladies in gingham still blush While he sings them of wars and wine But I, in my leather and lace I can never become that kind I can't go back there anymore You know my keys won't fit the door You know my thoughts don't fit the man They never can They never can I had a king in a salt-rusted carriage Who carried me off to his country for marriage too soon Beware of the power of moons There's no one to blame, no There's no one to name as a traitor here The queen's in the grove and the king's on the road 'Til the end of the year I can't go back there anymore You know my keys won't fit the door You know my thoughts don't fit the man They never can They never can They never can They never can

I wanna burn in the fire below I wanna dance with the devil you know Take me to heaven and don't let me go I am the king of a tragedy Waking up to hear the siren You're the poison in my blood I could do without the violence God knows I am not that tough I keep losing all my virtues I'm a magnet to your pain Waking up to hear the siren I wanna burn in the fire below I wanna dance with the devil you know Take me to heaven and don't let me go I am the king of a tragedy (king of a tragedy) I wanna surrender and sacrifice The fear that I feel when I look in your eyes Please take me to heaven before I die I am the king of a tragedy (king of a tragedy) Every word you say is fragile It's like a walk on broken glass I'm like a deer, so scared of your headlights You got your right foot hard on the gas Can we stay right here forever You make it hard to run away Every word you say is fragile I wanna burn in the fire below I wanna dance with the devil you know Take me to heaven and don't let me go I am the king of tragedy (king of a tragedy) I wanna surrender and sacrifice The fear that I feel when I look in your eyes Please take me to heaven before I die I am the king of a tragedy (king of a tragedy) Ooh, I wanna see what it feels like To run into your headlights Ooh, You know me I'm craving the spotlight I wanna burn in the fire below I wanna dance with the devil you know Take me to heaven and don't let me go I'll be the king of tragedy I wanna burn in the fire below I wanna dance with the devil you know Take me to heaven and don't let me go I am the king of a tragedy (king of a tragedy) I wanna surrender and sacrifice The fear that I feel when I look in your eyes Please take me to heaven before I die I'm the king of a tragedy King of a tragedy

Cotton flannel on a front porch swing Leather jacket and some tight blue jeans Don't get me started on the things I think When you're wearing nothing but them soft white sheets, yeah Listen, baby, you can put on anything What drives me crazy Is seeing you in a honky-tonk The way you're slipping that neon on Girl, there ain't a look you can't pull off But nothing turns me on Like you in a honky-tonk Smoke rings, glowing greens and reds They hug your body like a long black dress It's tailor made for your silhouette Ooh, nothing steals my breath Like seeing you in a honky-tonk The way you're slipping that neon on Girl, there ain't a look you can't pull off But nothing turns me on Like you in a honky-tonk Sipping and swaying and singing Girl, all I'm saying is it fits you like a glove Listen, baby, you can put on anything But I just go crazy Seeing you in a honky-tonk The way you're slipping that neon on Girl, there ain't a look you can't pull off Nothing turns me on Like you in a honky-tonk The way you're slipping that neon on Nah, there ain't a look you can't pull off But nothing turns me on Like you in a honky-tonk Ah, in a honky-tonk In a honky-tonk

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me Sharing pillows and cold feet She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat Under blankets and warm sheets If only I could be in that bed again If only it were me instead of him Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? 14 months and seven days ago Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night Just your skin against the window Oh, we took it slow and we both know It should have been me inside that car It should have been me instead of him in the dark Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite Parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sings to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? I know, Love (I'm a sucker for that feeling) Happens all the time, Love (I always end up feeling cheated) You're on my mind, Love (oh darling, lead her where that leaded) It happens all the time, Love, yeah Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you every day? Will he make you make you feel like You're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right? Don't throw this all away Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things like we used to? Oh, like we used to

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby?
