The Long Haired Kings

© 2023 At Swim-Two-Birds Music

The long haired kings sing songs of love

As they turn their eyes to the skies above

With a grasping hand dividin’ royalties

The long haired kings forsake all loyalties

The long haired kings split up long ago
In a sea of treachery and vertigo

Yes, the long haired kings broke up long ago

In a web of luxury… and treachery
And vertigo

And the long haired kings sang songs of sin

Faced the Pearly Gates with a surly grin

With a broken oath and a grasping hand

The long haired kings pissed away the land

But the long haired kings broke up long ago

In a web of treachery and deep sorrow

Yes, the long haired kings pissed away the band

With a profane oath… and a grasping hand

And a grasping hand

Then the long haired kings'd sung songs of woe

Of how the majors took their birthright long ago

With a willingness to sacrifice their kin

The long haired kings did their own selves in

And the long haired kings faded long ago
In a sea of verdigris and indigo

Yes, the long haired kings pissed away the brand

With a broken oath… and a grasping hand

And a grasping hand
