Just a King in Mirrors lyrics
by The Go-Betweens
Sold his wallet for kerosene
Fuel to burn his friends
Angels stained with nicotine
Sing for his defense
He waits
He waits
The saddest thing
He's just a king in mirrors
Holds a bottle for a scepter
Sits at a barstool throne
And empty glass reveals the specter
Of a past without a home
He waits
He waits
The saddest thing
He's just a king in mirrors
Reflection hurts but numbs the hours
His ex-chauffer runs the town
A peeling room with faded flowers
A scrapbook and his crown
He waits
He waits
The saddest thing
He's just a king in mirrors
