Echo & The Bunnymen - My Kingdom (Live - A Crystal Day - 12 May 1984) Lyrics

I chop and I change and the mystery thickens
There's blood on my hands and you want me to listen
To brawn and to brain when the truth's in the middle
Born of the grain like all good riddles

B-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make the most of
Your king, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom

You kill when you talk and the enemy weakens
Your words start to walk when you're not even speaking
If my heart is a war its soldiers are bleeding
If my heart is a war its soldiers are dead

B-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make the most of
Your king, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom

Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do

I've lost and I've gained and while I was thinking
You cut off my hands when I wanted to twist
If you know how to dance to Boney Marney
He's doing the ballet on both of his wrists

B-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make the most of
Your king, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom

You're a bitter malignous person
You're death is well overdue
It's in a panic, it's in a panic
You suck the blood that kills you
Kiss the hand that hates you
It's in a panic, it's in a panic
It's in a panic, it's in a panic
It's-it's-it's in a panic
