your mama cries your daddy lies your sister falls to the ground

you make your way upstairs pulling out what's left of your hair

the spinning starts to die down



king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day

king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day



you were the one you had your fun

but you left it along the way

but i got the joke you gotta smoke

you didn't care anyway



king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day

king of the asylum

king of the asylum anyway



tell me when he laugh tell me when he cries

tell me when he's gone way down inside

tell me when he lives i know he's gonna die

tell me when he's gone i won't be mighty mighty mighty mighty surprised

to find you're still around you never left town

you should've got on that out of town train



king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day

king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day

king of the asylum

king of the asylum for a day

king of the asylum

king of the asylum anyway



tell me when he laugh tell me when he cries

tell me when he's gone way down inside

tell me when he lives i know he's gonna die

tell me when he's gone i won't be mighty mighty mighty mighty surprised
