lyrics

Can you tell me where that old train station is? ‘Cuz I went there with a friend one time and he taught me how to burn a bridge. Just like an actor in a role he couldn’t play, said “I’m running out of ways my friend to sit around and piss away the days.” And that’s alright. The King of Cowards always leaves the scene before he ever gets things right. And that’s okay. The King of Cowards never makes things right because he always walks away. Ever been confronted by a name you couldn’t place? We passed each other on the street and he couldn’t recognize my face. Saw him later in a bar but there was not much to say, our visions much too clouded up by Johnny Walker Red and Tanqueray. And that’s alright. The King of Cowards always leaves the scene before he ever gets things right. And that’s okay. The King of Cowards never makes things right because he always walks away. Last time you saw me, well, I still had the blues but now I’m just a zodiac of crooked cues and twisted shoes and I still wonder ‘bout the luck that couldn’t been if I hadn’t left you standing there, just wondering if we’d ever meet again. And that’s alright. The King of Cowards always leaves the scene before she ever gets shit right. And that’s okay. The King of Cowards never makes things right because she always walks away. And that’s alright.
