KING WITHOUT A CROWN
written and composed by Mirko Hirsch
Crystal plumage in the night
and the killer in plain sight
who will die - who will survive
Saw four flies around the neck
always ready to attack
with black gloves that held the knife
BRIDGE
Something's happened that I can't explain
fear that all my hope's in vain
can't believe that everything is done
I don't want to see it lost and gone
CHORUS
Silver on fire
Your magic got me burning
Since the time we met
and my heart was in your hand
playing with fire
but now the tide is turning
with the blissful net
and it's hard to understand
silver’s on fire
it feels your fire's burning down
never coming down
and you might have lost your crown
playing with fire
I will always stand beside you though
With your silver crown
I will never let you down
You're my king without a crown
Put those needles to her eyes
couldn't see through their disguise
always longing for the twist
beating fast for Jenny C
and three mothers, cat and bee
but I don't know what it is
