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

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
