Subject: Lyr Req: TO BE A KING (Any Trouble)
Can anyone fill in the missing lyric please:

Well you think that you're the chosen one
The new found prince, a figure of fun
The hottest property underneath the sun
But someday things will change

When this year's fashion is last year's thing
And you take your place in the palace of swing
Where you count your money while you dance and sing

You don't have to wear a crown (have to wear a crown)
You don't have to wear a crown (have to wear a crown)
You don't have to wear a crown to be a king

Well you're a master of disguise
With a change of pace and bloodshot eyes
You would buy success at any price
Then laugh right in its face

Well you know all the pleasure that money brings
You wanna be there when the telephone rings
With the starring role in your final fling

Your big chance (your big chance)
Your big chance (your big chance)
This is your big chance to be a king

You think that you've got the right to state your case and call out your commands
With all your loyal subjects by your side
But time is running out and as it's slipping through your hands
You find yourself with nowhere to hide

With all you need just out of touch
And your belief is another crutch
To prop you up when you dare too much
Then lose all self-control

This ??? life swallows everything
While the man upstairs is tugging at your strings
You would pawn your brother for a pair of wings

And a place in heaven (place in heaven)
And a place in heaven (place in heaven)
Just a place in heaven for a king

You've only to say the word and someone crawls to meet all your demands
Everything you say is written down
But while you steal a thunder, somebody's burning up your lands
Suddenly the scene has turned around

Well I'm the one with most to lose
A dirty shirt and worn out shoes
Indecisions are nothing to choose
Still making up my mind

With an invitation to the palace's wing
Faster responses when the telephone rings
Well I'm standing here waiting in the wings

Learning my lines (learning my lines)
Learning my lines (learning my lines)
Learning all my lines to be a king

Your one big chance (one big chance)
You get one big chance (one big chance)
This is your big chance to be a king

And a place in heaven (place in heaven)
Place in heaven (place in heaven)
Just a place in heaven for a king

You don't have to wear a crown (have to wear a crown)
You don't have to wear a crown (have to wear a crown)
You don't have to wear a crown
