"Kings" lyrics

"Kings"

All day
Snow covered us
Night-time:
It was always night

The people on the street were made of meat
Black girl, trucks ran us down
Blue boy...

The people on the sidewalk were traced in chalk
Whale embryos filled your enormous room
Screech-owl kachinas built your spiritual room
We were kings, kings!
We were kings, kings!


Writer(s): Stephin Merritt
