Kill the King Lyrics
I’m watch them all leaves sweet sunshine
Wave back
Playin like cars that open the funk
Rhythms will fall behind
It all gets so crazy
It sense attached to
The same old lie
But I’m not lie
Rain this fire
All night
You save the world everytime you walk in the room
What you do
You alone could save our soul
Just your smile makes me think that I could
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I could
Kill the king, kill him
[Scat]
Brain brain, they fall
All lay down, oh
Shut up and sing, shut up and sing, shut up and sing
Goin’ down
Cause I got some awful news for you
Sunshine, you wave back
And I mean all, gonna leave it
Drive me down
You save the world everytime you walk in the room
What you do
If you alone could save my soul
Just your smile makes me think that I could
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I can
Take the, Take his throne,
Take it my own
I can take his throne
Come on, come on, yea yea
Come on, come on, yea yea
We’re burnin down
Come on, come on, yea yea
Come on, come on, yea yea
Down to the ground
And all the kings horses
And all the kings men
They will get in line
You save the world everytime you walk in the room
What you do
You alone could save our soul
Just your smile makes me think that I should
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I can
Kill the king, kill him
Yea, Yea
Down to the ground
Yea, yea
Down to the ground
Yea, yea
Down to the ground
Come on come on yea yea
Come on come on yea yea
Burn him down
Come on come on yea yea
Come on come on yea yea
Down to the ground
Wave back
Playin like cars that open the funk
Rhythms will fall behind
It all gets so crazy
It sense attached to
The same old lie
But I’m not lie
Rain this fire
All night
What you do
You alone could save our soul
Just your smile makes me think that I could
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I could
Kill the king, kill him
Brain brain, they fall
All lay down, oh
Shut up and sing, shut up and sing, shut up and sing
Goin’ down
Cause I got some awful news for you
Sunshine, you wave back
And I mean all, gonna leave it
Drive me down
What you do
If you alone could save my soul
Just your smile makes me think that I could
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I can
Take it my own
I can take his throne
Come on, come on, yea yea
We’re burnin down
Come on, come on, yea yea
Come on, come on, yea yea
Down to the ground
And all the kings men
They will get in line
What you do
You alone could save our soul
Just your smile makes me think that I should
Kill the king, Kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I can
Kill the king, kill him
Down to the ground
Yea, yea

Yea, yea
Down to the ground
Come on come on yea yea
Burn him down
Come on come on yea yea
Come on come on yea yea

just heard this song for the first time in concert on 6/9/06, amazing song!
another love gone bad where the singer is still attached
Nice you were at the concert in Post Gazette Pavilion? Totally there for both shows. And once Dave and the band blown me away with their jams. Totally worth the money and gas, and the tough ass trafic to see both shows. GO DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
Another song, like Sugar Will, where Dave uses alternate lyrics. Great song!
What's the point of putting this lyric up? The song isn't finished yet. The words will change until they're finalized.
A better place for these would be this site: http://dmbalmanac.com/
I love this song. In my opinion it's about admiring someone and everytime you see them it makes everything in the world right for that moment in time. I'm not sure why he wants to kill the king, but off with his head!
I agree with tydeus. I think that everything in the world it right now that moment, and it's such a powerful feeling that he feels that he could take over the rule of being king because thats how she makes him feel. LOVE DMB FOREVER
what I meant to say above it that everything in the world IS right AT that moment. sorry for the errors
This song (The alternate lyrics from 6-6-06 are clearer to me) doesn't seem to be about a love gone bad at all. It's more like being in love with someone and knowing that they can make everything okay..."Save the world every time you walk in the room." I think "Kill the king, kill the king" might be implying that the person that he loves not only makes him believe that everything is okay, but gives him the strength to take control of his own life.
I don't think this song has to do with religion or the "christians progress of renewing their soul or mind"...if you listen to Dave at all, its pretty obvious that he's agnostic (look at the lyrics to You Never Know). It seems like this song is about being very in love with someone. I agree with Slakker
this song better be on the new album.
