I Was A King

Jandek


I was a king
When I was twelve 
You couldn't touch me 
No, no, no, no 
I kept you away 
I didn't think about it 
It wasn't important 
I was made 
Get out of my way 
But I liked (like?) to be with you 
Don't get me wrong 
It's just that a threat 
Was the furthest thing from my mind 
I don't feel the air 
I don't know what time it is 
Except the sun tells me now and then 
I got my clubs 
And I'm bursting all around 
You can't but see me 
I'm in front of you 
I'm all around 
I got inside of you 
Well here I am 
What you going to do 
I somehow flew here 
And we're together 
I was a king 
When I was twelve 
You couldn't touch me 
No, no, no, no 
I kept you away 
But I was with you 
I still am 
Today my thoughts are wrapped up 
In all my days 
I got my new doors 
So perfect and clean 
Its early someday 
Im thinking about me 
And how I was
