King For A Day
-------------

make a rendezvous
and keep me alive
point me away from you
and hope I arrive

put a monument
remember my name
will you shine up my memory
when it's all that remains

build me a castle
throw a parade
put my name in stone
so the words won't fade
start a religion
name it for me
build me a city
and give me the key
I'm king for a day
I can do no wrong
I'm king for a day
'til the next one comes along

heroes are wonderful
i'm first to admit
but out past the sun
that doesn't help me a bit

when you wake up tomorrow
i'll be light years away
but you'll find some other hero
to be king for a day

[chorus]
