His Kingly Cave

Frank Black

[Verse 1]
He wants an altered state
Inside the mansion walls
She said she'd rather wait
Yeah, for evening to fall
But still the cap they ate
And with a drink they chased
The ghost that called

[Verse 2]
They went to celebrate
They went to have a ball
Everyone gathered at the gates
But it wasn't good at all
The sky was turning gray
They laughed at their mistake
As their skin began to crawl

[Chorus]
Hey, but it's too late for to go back now
They closed the gates and the scene was set
Enter into his kingly cave
Don't worry, the leopards won't bite you
Wipe that big tear away

See, they got jumpsuit on a headless cast
And polished jewels under 2-inch glass
And bullet holes in Vernon's room out back
Don't worry, the posse won't shoot you
No more crying today

[Verse 3]
He's tripping over graves
As rain begins to fall
And finally they escape
When the shuttle bus is called
The mourners now abate
And one begins to say
I scream, I scream for all

[Chorus]
Hey, but it's too late for to go back now
They closed the gates and the scene was set
Enter into his kingly cave
Don't worry, the leopards won't bite you
Wipe that big tear away

See, they got jumpsuit on a headless cast
And polished jewels under 2-inch glass
And bullet holes in Vernon's room out back
Don't worry, the posse won't shoot you
No more crying today

[Bridge]
Hey, but it's too late for to go back now
Too late for to go back now
Enter into his kingly cave

[Verse 4]
He wants an altered state
Inside the mansion walls
She said she'd rather wait
For evening to fall
But still the cap they ate
And with a drink they chased
The ghost
