His Kingly Cave Lyrics - Frank Black

He wants an altered state inside the mansion walls 

she says she'd rather wait, yeah, for evening to fall 

but still the cap they ate and with a drink they chased the ghost that called 

they went to celebrate they went to have a ball 

everyone gathered at the gates but it wasn't good at all 

the sky was turning grey they laughed at their mistake as their skin began to 

crawl 

hey but it's too late for to go back now 

they closed the gates and the scene was set 

enter into his kingly cave 

don't worry the leopards won't bite you 

wipe that big tear away 

see they got jumpsuit on a headless cast 

polished jewels under two inch class 

and bullets holes in Vernon's room out back 

don't worry the posse won't shoot you 

no more crying today 

he's tripping over graves 

as rain begins to fall 

and finally they escape when the shuttle bus is called 

the mourners now abate 

as one begins to say 

I scream I scream for all 

hey but it's too late for to go back now 

hey but it's too late for to go back now 

enter into his kingly cave.
