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
