lyrics

If you're gonna leave me, just go on and go
Cause I've got no interest darlin' in being in control
All my life things have always changed
People come and go and then they fade away

Some may mistake it for trying to be strong
But I've got my reasons for sitting on this throne
The king of fools and the prince of misery
All I'll leave behind is a headstone that decrees:

Here lies a bag of bones
Lost and all alone
Here lies somebody's ghost
The savior king of rock and roll

I turn the engine, listen to it whine
Radio's broken now, the clock won't keep time
I drive in silence thinking of you
The stardust in your hair and my rocket shoes

Here lies a bag of bones
Lost and all alone
Here lies somebody's ghost
The savior king of rock and roll
